In desperate need of advice!

My Runners go all the way to the  bottom of their buckets all I see is half a body sticking out. Head all the way to the bottom.  So funny.

Lol mine do that too

Mine haven't gotten in the water hardly at all since I've had them. 2 will run around and play in the water and maybe sit in it but not go under. The sick one steps I. It and that's about it. I did however catch her chowin down on her mush! So now I'm hoping she will go dunk herself lol.

Sounds good...It will if it needs too..

Well she is still doing very well I think. The bad nostril has gotten much darker and dryer looking and stopped spreading. Which makes me think it's getting better. The other side has completely cleared up as well. She has been eating and drinking all day and is now up chirping loudly I think looking for the other 2 ducks. I separated them in case this was an infection of some kind that would spread. Tomorrow I was possibly gonna put them in a large kiddy pool together. Is it too soon for the sick one or will the loneliness make her progress stall? I know it's like that for other farm animals that's why I ask. I have goats and they will give up on life if they feel lonely lol.

If you were putting any cream and withholding her feed and water would be the only reason to keep her alone...I dont think it is contagious ...

I would let her back with them......Sounds like things are getting better?....

Hope she feels great today.......
