One of my call ducks is acting very strangely. She's usually very skittish and nervous around humans, but she's been extremely lethargic and allowed me to pick her up with no protest. I noticed that she had been acting odd when I went to change the duck coop about an hour ago.
The duck coop hasn't been changed in a week, and is very muddy because we've had no straw (we have some now). I was thinking maybe a respiratory issue, but she's not sneezing or coughing.
Because she's small, she's been picked on by some of the larger ducks, but seems to have been recovering.
It's winter, so she does not have access to grass or other foraging nutrients. We haven't been feeding the ducks as much fresh greens as we should.
I'm currently keeping her inside with fresh straw and greens. Help/advice would be appreciated <3
Symptoms
Trembling head
Limping/struggling to walk
Spread wings
Refusal to eat or drink
General lethargy
