Hello All
I was hoping someone was online tonight that could help us.
This evening I was down with our ducks and everyone seemed fine. They were happily wandering around the yard and within less than an hour later two of the females are sickly looking.
They are laying down, hardly holding their heads up and when they do they bobble around. When I tried to pick them up they tried to get away from me, so they have a little "fight" in them, but honestly they look drunk when they try to get up or move around.
I have given them each a little poultry drench (vitamin/nutrient dose) to try and perk them up. I'm confused and have no clue what to think. They just were 5 months old about a week or so ago (on the 26th)
They are part of a small flock, two ducks that are over a year old and two drakes that are the same age.
My daughter (age 9) is going to be devastated if something happens to them. These are hers, she saved for two years and bought them with her own money and was looking forward to getting eggs soon!
Anyone have thoughts? Help?
Thanks.
