Ducks acting drunk - 2 died, 1 is really sick. Help!

You can get Epsom salts at Walmart. Could they have gotten something toxic? Plants?

I had a duckling once that did that and he had salmonella. The best course of action would be to have the duck taken to an avian vet and tested, of course. If you use a flush (epsom salts are a flush), be very careful because what is useful for chickens is sometimes deadly to ducks who take in so much more water. Always check to make sure the information is for ducks (as swheat has given you that ahead of time, the duck link).

I had no idea that bread was bad for them. Thankfully, I have never given them bread.

Any ideas what could be wrong with him, anyone?

Q. Is your starter/grower feed non-medicated?
Q. Is there any possibility of accessing something poisoned? Do these ducks roam where your others do not?

I wish I could help you. I'm stumped.

Will medicade feed kill them? My little black 1 ate & drank acted drunk & died. Was feeding non medicade. Think it might have a gotten mixed up. Was like instant. Others ok

Medicated feed is no longer dangerous for ducks at least in the US I’m uncertain about other countries. Has anything changed lately with their living area? New fencing? New paint? Have you changed the bedding recently? Are there any environmental changes that could have contaminated the well water? Do you live near a farmer that could have been spraying chemicals? Is the coop or anything in it painted?
