quickly, is probiotics be ok for ducks? The ducks and chickens share the same water source

Yes, the ducks will benefit from the probiotics as well.

Thank you for the information! And to be clear I mix the copper with their water or their food?

I would also treat the entire flock, this can be contagious even if they are not all showing signs yet.

entire flock including the ducks or just the chickens?

Are the ducks having symptoms too? I am not 100% sure about treating the ducks with the Copper. If they too are sick, you might start a thread in our Ducks forums and ask them about Vent Gleet in ducks. I have never treated ducks with this condition.

You might separate the chickens from the ducks to treat this Gleet. However treat all your chickens for sure.

Gotcha! I'll treat all the girls. The ducks seem fine so far. They just all share the same coop and food and water. We'll just have to get creative on seperating them
