Isolate Sick Birds

Solution

Immediately separate any duck showing signs of illness (lethargy, discharge, diarrhea, limping) from the flock.

Explanation

Isolation prevents the potential spread of contagious diseases to the rest of the flock and allows the sick bird to rest and recover without being bothered by others. It also makes observation and treatment easier.

Notes

Have a designated 'hospital' pen or area ready. Provide food, water, and shelter for the isolated bird.
