Hi, welcome to BYC!

Sorry you are having trouble. It definitely sounds concerning.

I do think it's possible for animals to be handicapped in many ways. Also it's possible their system never gets up and going and fail this much later.

I would suspect a vitamin or mineral deficiency, similar to wry neck or something... But seriously I don't know.

What are you feeding including treats and supplements?

 

[royalducky101]

I'm feeding them chick starter grower from my feed store no treats but been putting S-A-V-E A C-H-I-C-K electrolyte and prebiotic in there water every other water change since I got them...

Also I don't know if it's related or not but about 15 minutes ago one of my other ducks just had a seizure any input on that would be great...thanks

Wile it was having the seizure I grabbed my Syringe with nutri drench and give him 4 ML of that and it stopped it after a few seconds the whole thing lasted about 2 minutes now he is just very tired

Azygous, thanks for that post. I just got my first chicks this past Friday. Saturday morning I came out and had one laying on its side. I tried to help it but honestly I had no idea what to do. I'll be a little more prepared now thankfully.

So sorry. I know you did all you could! 

I was trying to find dosing info on that nutridrench just now. But didn't see anything saying how often was safe to give directly.

Thank you! I appreciate the help
