Feeding injured duck

[NajmoNests]

Dizzy duck feeling better... head and neck becoming more naturally held. She still doesn't eat on her own so have been syringe feeding. Question on feeding: How much would one feed a duck and how often? She's a call hen. Thanks.

Add a little bit of builder's sand into the feed mush, since your duck is not getting grit otherwise. This will help with the absorption of nutrients.

Dizzy Blu duck is all better now! TY 2 all that helped with suggestions. I did feed her with a turkey baster! Used foods like: pumpkin, raw egg yolk, moistened duck feed, vitamins E tab daily + baby vitamins. She recovered. A friend suggested she was thin and anemic from sitting on nest. Her drake was sold, so none to coax her to eat. I learned! Broody birds MUST be guided to food and water daily if not inclined to do so by her self.
