ok they are normally scared of us but they were just sitting there and wont move there beak colors changed to a lighter colored yellow and orange and they werent pooping and wont do anything when the other ones move or go to get a drink it just its weird and also when it walks its very wobbly and it has troubles walking. we wanna get a cure before it goes to everything else i have a lot of animals that if i lose i cant get back so plz i dont know what to do???
 
This is a really nice diagnostic chart: http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/diagnostic chart.htm Are any of the symptoms they are having matching up with something on here? Did you check the bottom of his feet to see if he has bumblefoot? Are they breathing okay? It may be a good idea to start them on some broad spectrum antibiotics like baytril. If it seems to be a respiratory problem you could pick up some tetracycline.

The other option, if it mostly seems to be a problem with the legs, is niacin deficiency, in which case you should get some brewer's yeast to add to their feed.
 
the second one died now and we cleaned there feed and dish out and we took the chickens that werer with them out and pput them with the others we are almost positive its worms bc its crusty at there butt and just the signs prove it but my mom wants to know what medicine should we use that ducks can use
