Sick female muscovy?

[Muscovy Wunda]

I though I had some pics of my girls on here but apparently I don't. To me it sounds like she's being bullied. If she's acting completely like herself in every other way (besides avoiding the flock because of the other birds) still eating and drinking and doing normal ducky poos. Poo is a really good way to check for sickness.

Has she laid any eggs in the past few weeks?

It could also be fluid. Another reason a good examine needs to be done by a vet or you. A vet would best. I have an EE ( chicken) who is 8 yrs old and she’s got water belly where fluid is built up inside her body but I am not going to drain her. At her age I can’t see putting her through that. Not saying this is what your Muscovy has but it always sends a red flag up for me since I’ve had 3 EEs with it. Research Ascites.

Hi, there!

Just checking into see how your bird is doing. Updates to these threads are very useful for people in the future experiencing the same problem.
