[belindajane]

theres three they were the same size 2 weeks ago now i have a very large one a med size one and a very sick tiny one which i think has never grown at all-- they were with baby chicks the same size they are 2 weeks today the two larger ones stop eating so i took them all out put them in a dog kennel with a light water and feed the sick one is in there two but in a pet carrier on a heating pad--- i have raised ducks before no problems what have i done wrong ---the two larger ones have started eating today and seem better

I'm sorry I wish you were able to see that difference before it was too late and possibly find the problem. Any idea what happened?

Typically that canbhappen in birds of prey. By the time they show symptoms of anything it's often too late to help if it's something life threatening.

Keep us posted on the other two. What kind of feed are they getting?
