Help! All my ducklings are dying

[Crazy4Fowl]

what hatchery did you order them from, just wondering because I was going to get some but may not anymore. Sorry for your ducklings

Cackle Hatchery. Definitely don’t recommend getting ducks from them. The chicks are fine. I’m not sure you’ll be able to get ducks right now as I just looked for some replacements and many of the hatcheries are out of stock until August-September

I am at work right now but the people back home let me know she just passed. This disease kills them extremely quick! And whatever it is it does not effect chickens.

What state do you live in?

Ok here’s an update. All of the ducklings have died and now one of my Juvenile ducklings that was outside not even near the little ones has symptoms. She won’t walk and is slowing down. What is going on?! This must be some horrible disease. Does anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like DVH to me, but I may be wrong. You need to have the duckling's bodies examined asap.

I don’t think it has anything to do with the state. The khaki Campbell ducklings outside were healthy and fine until these ones showed up. We just have accidentally passed on the disease. I just hope the 3 ducklings I have left are not infected. This has been a tragedy.

I asked about your state so I could recommend a necropsy lab. Some states do them for free, others charge a small amount.

I think he asked about what state you are in to try to help you find a lab for diagnosis.

We will try to have them examined but it sounds like you are right. I looked it up and it perfectly describes what’s happening to the ducks. They’ve has tremors of the head, neck, and body and I noticed one of the little ones that died had watery poop.

Oh ok. In NH, thanks.
