So happy to hear, now make sure to get some poultry vitamins [Poultry Nurti drench] is a really good one and goes straight into the blood stream inside of into gut first then into blood stream so it works fast. Maybe you can find it. I know TSC carries it.

I have some...... it looks like what is happening is when she cleans her crest and does the head rub on her back it triggers them. she is pretty out of it i got her to drink but she wont eat and i can't pick her up because that seems to trigger them to so she is napping and her sister is with her so i am going to make her some crumble soup and if her sister eats it maybe she will copy her

I have two wonderfully magnificent special quackers.

Winnie was born with a deformed beak that ended up progressing into a rather malformed bill as an adult. As a duckling I had to feed her 3-4 times daily with hard boiled egg to help her gain weight. She weighed significantly less than her siblings and grew much slower. In fact, she's 25 weeks and still hasn't had her first molt. She's doing wonderfully though! She is finally a good size, maintaining weight, and uses her bottom bill to scoop her food.

Beatrice was born a normal Welsh Harlequin. She is beautiful and was such a friendly sweet baby. At about 12 weeks she started having uncontrollable seizures. She wouldn't eat, disengaged from her feathered family, and was having 3-4 minute long seizures. She was diagnosed with epilepsy and after multiple tube feedings per day she was weaned off of phenobarbital and started on DMG as an all natural supplement. She is still a bit off and very likely has brain damage from her seizures as she is slow to register information and often seems to forget what she is doing but I just adore her. She is also seizure free!!!!
