Hi there, Welcome to BackYard Chickens!

I read your thread on the duck forums, and the main thing that concerns me is that you were feeding sharp sand, which is much to fine to work as grit and is one of the leading causes of digestive tract impactions in birds. Your duck should be taken to a vet as soon as possible.

Issac really knows his ducks.
