One of my call duck hens appears to have been poisoned a few days ago. She can't stand correctly. She is eating and drinking great but is a mess with her attempt at walking.
Anyone here have ducks and ever experienced a metal poisoning? I believe I found the source and am off to take down a piece of old fencing that may have poked her and now she is sick.
Any help is appreciated.

If she was poked by a fence she would probably have an infection. She would have to be ingesting the metal for it to be metal poisoning.
Moldy feed can cause bad problems too.
