ACV with mother, like Braggs or Heinz also you can order from Vital cost their brand which is cheaper and still has the mother in it.

Really hard to say but if feed smells off i wouldn't use it and find another feed store if the person say's they'll be fine? Not his ducks so doesn't matter?

Try the ACV a couple  3 days if you don't notice any improvement you may want to try a course of antibiotics, but seems she'd be off on her feed, lethargic etc if she was sick, does she lay eggs? if so has she been laying normal?

Everything's normal with her except the cough. I've been putting AVC with the mother in her water, it's decreased her coughing a little bit already. I'm starting to think it's deffinitely the food though. Any suggestion on what food to give her? I use nutrena feather fixer because both ducks seems to shed so many feathers if they don't eat this food even when they're not molting. The guy at feed store said it was bad to eat her eggs while feeding her this food, but I called nutrena and try said it's made of all organic stuff so it's safe.
thank you so much for your help, it's much appreciated!

I am happy to hear your already seeing some improvement in her, when you say it's the food do you mean it may not be any good or just the particular one your using? I have heard good things about Nutrena I haven't heard of the feather fixer but what other stages does Nutrena carry do the have an all flock? Please don't believe half of what those working at feed stores say, I'm glad you called the company. Thanks for updating and hope she continues to improve as the days go on.

Thank you! Just that paticular batch, it may have gotten moist or something when it was at the feed store. Not sure, I've really only bought the starter chick feed and Nutrena feather fixer.

Hi, I was wondering if you ever found out what's wrong with your duck. I hope she's doing better now!

I am almost done with the duck house! Yay!!! Super excited. Just have the roof, door and painting left. I'm in TX and the heat has been so hard to work around.

I also went to pull in the little guys for the night and they won't get out of the water. My hubby and I are enjoying the warm night and our new fire pit so I guess they can stay out a bit longer.

Sounds like limber neck, some activated charcoal in water has been working wonders, quite a bit of progress!! Still a long road ahead but she is doing much better thanks to some wonderful people on this site!!
