Sudden Pekin Death, Heartbroken

[New duck mommy 2021]

The temp is 13 degrees Celsius

gosh that’s awful I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s such a tragedy to lose them so suddenly. I just hope as awful as it seems that it was some isolated incident where she’s eating something or passed from natural causes as I really couldn’t cope with something happening to the rest of my flock. They’re almost like your children when you hatch them from their little eggs

I hope that’s the case for you as well
That it was just isolated and your others will be ok
Just keep an eye on them

 

[Miss Lydia]

Very sorry for your loss

Been checking her hourly and my partner said her breathing seems to have calmed and she’s eaten some more sweetcorn, don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight but definitely keeping a watchful eye

Is she with her friends yet?
Panting hard like that can either be pain, too hot, trouble breathing or stress

It could be stress

Do you have any VetRX on hand?
How does her tail look, is it sitting normally, could you get a picture of her?
