My Pet Chicken doesn't sell ducks themselves, they do what is called "drop-shipping". They forward your order to a hatchery from where your birds are being shipped. Very likely you got the swedes from Ideal. They are one of the largest breeder for black swedish ducks.
I have only tried epsom salt in a bath once, with "Bazilla" one of my white layers and it was a mess. She drank a lot of that water and developed a nasty diarrhea - as if duck poop isn't bad enough! Just warm water, little more than your body temperature will help to relax muscles, nerves and tendons.
oh i didn’t know this about mpc, holy cow. i thought the birds were very nicely secured when shipped & they have been very healthy until this issue today. thx for info on the bath, i sure don’t want more issues than we already have. i’ll keep w/ the baby aspirin & will try the watm
bath & rest.
