Wobbly 'drunk' Crested Duck

That's weird, all of the wynner feed products say complementary except this one.

She is cute. It might just be her age. 9yrs is a long life for ducks.

The site says complete feed, but the bag states complementary? Looks like scratch to me.
You would want to feed your poultry something like this instead

that's exactly what I'm feeding her, the store assured us it is a fine feed for both her and the hens

At 9 yrs old layer isn't even necessary just a good balanced feed. It does look like scratch. But can you tell us what all is in the feed since we can't see the ingredients.

hmmm they're definitely all the same stuff, just different sizes.

Maybe ingredients will give us an idea.

She does still lay miraculously, its what weve been feeding her and the hens for a good 5 years and were insured by the shop that it is a complete feed and is good for them. It seems to be cracked corn mostly with wheat, maize, and sunflower seeds

Wow still laying, I have a 10 yr old Muscovy she hasn't laid in about 2 yrs.
Well you def want to keep her on something so she gets her calcium is calcium carbonate added to the feed?

Maybe add a good poultry vitamin to her diet. As we age our bodies need more nutrients and sometimes we don't assimilate them as well as when we were young. She may just need a good boost of nutrients. I know Amazon carries Poultry Nutri Drench which is always my go to if I have one not quite up to par. I am sure there are others too. Depending on where we live.

This could just be age related but I know that with seizures things in the environment can trigger them so maybe watch closer to what is around her when one starts. Is she being startled? Light coming on fast, scared out of sleeping etc. Even swimming can bring one on in a human. My dd had Epilepsy when young.

we havent got her on any calcium carbonate, except for grit. i will have a look and see if i can buy any to add to her feed

I meant is it mentioned on the bag since it says it's for layers. That is what they pout into layer feed. Has she ever had any problems with her eggs, soft shell no shell thin shelled?
