Playing dead?

[dishfickle]

Craziest duck thing. Peeked outside, one was frantically flapping her wings, fell down, then her neck Bent all the way back so her head was touching her back. She was acting like something was after her, but I didn't see anything. Her eye was runny. Brought her inside, a little weak and uncoordinated. We've lost a few lately, but symptoms different

How is she doing today?

This doesn't sound like a duck who would be "pretending" to be dead due to a predator? I'm not sure ducks actually do that. If needing to evade, they run or fly. This sounds more like a physical or neurological issue.

She's fine. We'll put her back out. Looks like my cart at the feed store runneth over

They're seizures. Well, I guess they are. She had one when I was sleeping, woke me up, didn't connect the dots. Just had another one Frantic wing flapping, neck all the way back, then limp

Apple seeds?! The hang out under the apple trees more than anything else. They're wormy, so they just drop. I'll try the charcoal, and rake under the trees today
