Wheezing and refused duck

[Evca]

Hello everyone!

I've got three ducks about 2 months old. One of them suddenly started to wheeze and the others won't let her among themselves. She also has diarrhoea.

They have a supply of water 24/7 and I change it 2-3 times a day.

I'm worried about her health but haven't a slightest idea what this behaviour means.

Thank you for any ideas and solutions.

Cheers, Eva

Hello chickenfarmgirl,

thank you for your reply. I can´t smell anything unusual.

Thank you for your advice, AlohaDuck. I´ll try it. I´ve found that they should sell it here in Australia. Do you have any suggestions what to feed them to keep them healthy? I´ve got a mixture directly from the farmer which contains cereals and legumes. They don´t want to eat poultry starter pellets bought at market. I was told not to feed them lettuce.

Thanks again.

If you want the best, feed them organic feed like this one. In fact this is what I use and it's been great.

Here is an awesome post of all the things you can feed your ducks. It covers a lot.

Fermented feed for your ducks is in my opinion one of the best things you can do. Here is the post. I do this as well.

Cheers!
