Coccidiosis is Very unlikely in ducks. You need to feed waterfowl food, not chicken food. What were the symptoms before they passed?

You're telling me chicken starter isn't ok for ducklings? And other then the normal loss of appetite, weakness, droopy wings ect, they both closed one eye when it seemed to reach a serious point but before that there didn't seem to be anything wrong. And the duckling with me now has something in his nostril which I think is his bedding which makes sense because he keeps digging into the bedding with his beak.

Do you have water deep enough to have him submerge his nares? Ducklings need to do this. Chick feed does not have sufficient niacin for ducklings. If using chick feed you must add b vitamins. TSC has b vitamins injectable for cattle, just put them over a yummy treat. Or get waterfowl or duck food. Thanks for trying and glad you showed up here. We will help the best we can

Chick feed might not contain enough niacin, thiamine, other vitamins, various minerals, and amino acids.

Nutritional yeast is better. Do you have a vitamin store there? I don't know what else to call it.
