Well, our little duck just died. Within minutes of getting him out of the warm water, he died. So sad.

Sorry for your loss. Will you be able to send it off for a necropsy?

Aside from free ranging, what is the duckling getting for food, and how often?

I had no idea this was even an option. I will look into this. I'd love to know what happened to him. Thanks for the info!

Quote: If it's too expensive, talk to them, many have grants in place that will pay for this. Definitely something I would do just in case it's some type of disease, then you would know how to treat your other one if it gets sick. Refrigerate, do not freeze, and call them in the morning.

I'll do that. Everyone has been so nice and helpful. I appreciate it so much!

If medicated feed is bad for ducks then why would they sell it. I use Purina flockck raiser but I saw Purina has a brand medicated with probiotics and since my ducks have poopy problems, I think that would be great. If its medicated with probiotics why would it be bad? I'm just saying. I figured buy a little bag, see if it works and move on. Yet I would never want to intentionally hurt them

Well , I'm pretty sure that is exactly what I was talking about, the medicated flock raiser. So your basically saying, it won't kill my ducks?
