New duck mom? Help!

[KaleIAm]

Thank you!! I have straw in my outdoor coop, I will switch to that this evening! It's amazing how I became a duck mom by accident and they completely stole my heart. I never knew how much personality ducks and chickens had before this!

You are very welcome. I am delighted with my ducks as well, I spend hours hanging out with them. They do have so much personality.

UPDATE: it was a niacin deficiency! I started feeding and watering him separately and keeping him isolated and he is almost 100% back to normal!

I'm so happy to hear he's feeling better!

Glad your ducky is doing better. I second KaleIAm, ducks are very enjoyable and have tons of personality. It’s also really fun to watch them interact with each other as well.

Glad to hear he's feeling better. Do you give niacin, or B complex?

I gave a poultry vitamin mix + nutridrench in his water. He doesn't drink as much as the others so I trick him with mealworms in it too LOL
