Emotionally weak - pet ducks

[jendarwin]

I mixed apple cider vinegar to their water and added few oreganos. I have a pack of purina flock raiser with me. Should I start giving her that? They now feed on lentils, egg, turmeric and oyster shells everyday and some lettuce by the evening. I don’t understand where is the problem.

So the egg shell was hard like shell or soft? just membrane?

Any way to get her to a vet? many things could be going on. Internal laying, infection.

The shell was soft. It was found a little away from the yolk.

 

[Miss Lydia]

They ONLY eat lentils, egg No other feed? yes def give them Flock Raiser
Sounds like she may have a nutritional def. Oyster shell should be in a separate bowl so she can eat it as needed. Her Purina Flock raiser should be main feed 90% then treats at 10% of daily food.

We have no vet around who treat ducks

Hopefully it all came out then.

Okay explain why you haven' been giving them poultry feed? Or have you and I read your post wrong?

 

[jendarwin]

I did give them poultry feed, I read somewhere that purina flock raiser was not good for ducks so I started boiling lentils and giving them. I stopped purina 4 months before and they were all good.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Purina Flock Raiser is the best for all Poultry including water fowl, next up would be organic. [Purina Flock Raiser is formulated for all poultry. If you can't get water fowl feed this is next best]

Get her on it ASAP along with the calcium citrate and lets hope in a few weeks we see much improvement.
