Help my ducks are all dying!

[zooweemama]

I just found a patch of what I believe may be ground ivy (looks kind of like cat nip, but its not) in the pen that the ducks were in when this first started. if some of the ducks ate ground ivy could they still be showing signs and dying days later. And is there anything I can give them if they did eat it at this point. It was behind the shelter under some trees I don't know how I missed it during construction of the run and shelter, or during all those walk throughs I did before letting them out and after they got sick. If this is what did it I feel awful.

Oh gosh! eek! If that's it I am glad the source may have been found. I am not sure if there is any intervention can be done. I hope this bumps your post up so maybe someone spots it.

My ducks have ground ivy growing all over their yard and they have never had any issues. They forage through it daily for bugs, slugs and frogs. I doubt that is what is causing your problems. Unfortunately, I can't say what your problem is exactly, but I don't think that is it.

Sorry.

Ducks and other waterfowl do not do well on medicated chicken feed. They are very sensitive to it.

Is that brand medicated it doesn't say medicated on the front, where do I look on the bag to make sure its not medicated?

this might be of some help to you... Even tho it is for calls it will pertain to all ducks. Good luck!
