Sick duck!

Update please?

I'm sorry I was busy trying to help her. She passed. Whatever this was took her from just fine to dead in about 4 hours

I am so sorry. Start the rest on the BComplex they need it daily till 10 weeks but keep it on had always. I also put Nutritional yeast in their feed a couple times a week once they get past 10 weeks. Because I can’t feed straight duck food since I have a mixed flock. Hopefully if it was a nutritional deficiency you’ll keep it from happening with the rest.

Don't dispose of the body yet. Contact your state's Department of Agriculture. You might be able to get a free or low-cost necropsy to determine what happened to the little one. No help for her, but maybe it'll help save others.

How are the rest of your duckling doing?

So sorry you lost so many little ones!

If the rest are having a bad time and not eating try feeding them scrambled eggs. @Miss Lydia had a similar situation with hatchery ducks last spring. 2 of hers died soon after receiving them although they looked perfectly healthy when she received them. The other 2 looked like they were taking a turn for the worst so she started feeding them scrambled eggs cut up really small and they perked up and lived.

Thank you @DuckyDonna
