I have searched every where to find info and not had much luck-I gave everyone water and food and started hearing him make a weird noise a few min later. He was on his side and kind of breathing hard almost like a seizure or something neuro- put him under the heat lamp and he stood up woobley after about 15min. After about 45 min he started eating again and seems better but I wouldnt say perfect. Im worried because my female just fell over and died last month- could they have an infection of some sort? Weight seems right and everything. What should I treat him with-my ducks all eat flock raiser mixed with layer and have done great til now. I just hatched out some baby calls and are keeping them totally away and scrub my hands etc but still very worried. I had 2 other babies hatch 3 weeks ago and they were weak from the start and didnt make it-dont know if I got something when they were shipped from the persons farm or what is going on-never have I had any problems like this and I am very upset because I cant figure it out-Please help
