Is there anything toxic your ducks could have eaten, or any access to something moldy or rotten, like a dead fish? It looks to me that it is having uncontrolled movement almost.

I thought that too but for 18 others to not be affected?

It is possible it was the only one to eat something it shouldn't have. Something weird is going on. This would be one of those I would ask @Isaac 0 for help on, but I haven't seen him lately.

I'd also try some liquid B complex 1 ml daily, even feeding the best feed there is there can still be one to come down with a niacin deficiency. 1ml over a tasty treat or by mouth

Right now he won't drink. Can I put niacin in his water? With electrolytes? Should I just take him to the water fowl rescue. I can't have yet another duck die... we had a few succumb to snakes and drowning from other ducks...

Normal feed mazuri gossiling and duck feed fresh veggies once a day... and tons of water everywhere. Temps are 98 here today

They were born Easter

If you can get a rescue or vet to help that would be best. Did you see any signs of snake bites or such on the duck?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes def if you can get outside help.

Very true I just think of mine they do everything together so if one ate something toxic I’d think they’d all join in. My Muscovy are independent of the others . If you suspect a toxin we can help with that too. But he has to drink https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/flushes-for-aiding-in-toxin-removal.700526/

No and we looked we did have a snake get two babies the other night... but the older ones are all fine. I'm hoping niacin and b 12 will help and the electrolyte water. I tried to get it in him but he dribbled most of it out ao we put a gallon of water outin a bucket with electrolyte in it and then every bucket has niacin in it now not just the one inside the pen...
