Sick Indian runner?

[Quacking ducks]

Hi I have 2 fawn and white Indian runner hen.

1 is a month older and is doing great! She’s a good weight and looks pretty healthy.

The second one is a month younger and doesn’t look very good. She looks sickly to me but I’m not sure what wrong with her so I’m not sure how to help

Symptoms:
feathers in poor condition, runny nose, face is sunken in some, shaking bad sometimes, a little lethargic sometimes, not grooming herself very well, wing feathers bleeding some.

Anybody have any ideas what’s wrong with her? Thank you

Healthy duck

Sickly duck

Both together

Could be respiratory since your seeing runny nose. Do you have any antibiotics?

For a while I had her on Amoxicillin but it didn’t help

Is a vet an option?

No, a vet is not an option and even if it was there is not a vet close by that does poultry

Ok, I will look into that. Is there anything more natural that I could use instead?

Greek Oregano is a natural antibiotic you might look into it.
If she is real sick and from what you described it sure sounds like something is def going on with her I'd get the Baytril. I am not one to push or use antibiotics at the drop of the hat but there are times when they are needed.

Here is an update on my duck “Pancake”…. So this afternoon I moved Pancake to a separate kennel in the shed/barn by herself. She also laid 1 egg this morning and 1 egg tonight. Tomorrow I’m going to start boosting her immune system with different herbs that I have for respiratory infections, and also some electrolytes and maybe some apple cider vinegar. She is very tired today and scared with being in a new place by herself. She is also wheezing a little too. Tonight she even let me wrap her in an old jacket between 2 hot water bottles and she stayed there even when I left the barn
