I would figure out a way to separate them, make sure each one has the basics, food, water, and safety. I also suspect you need more than one female.

The first post in this thread has a good summary for duckling care. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/750869/raising-and-caring-for-ducklings#post_10611711

Hi, have you checked in over at the https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/978237/she-said-he-said-whos-right-whos-wrong-no-one/34680 There is also a Sticky on hatching waterfowl https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/491013/goose-incubation-hatching-guide-completed

For my Runners, bath water was about the same as the brooder temperature. They can get hypothermia.

I would ask over on this thread - there are duck hatchers there. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/978237/she-said-he-said-whos-right-whos-wrong-no-one/34250 @Lacrystol @dotknott

Zehn is not a drake, but she has done this since she was two months old. She's teasing me, funning with me. Vier does it to me, too, and she's not a drake either. But they both are very outgoing, mischievous ducks.

I don't, NathanZee, our boy is not in nuptial plumage right now, and we don't incubate the eggs from his girls..When they can get outside on a mild day, though, he does mate with them.

I have a Buff in full molt, and a White Mallard looking like she is starting....

In the meantime, it seems to me you need to be more hands-on involved with making sure she gets to food and water and that she drinks and has a chance to rinse herself off in some decent water. Her life depends on you.

Can you set up a bright light she could see, or perhaps wind chimes or a small quiet noisemaker near her food so she knows where it is?

I am not a breed expert, but the shape of his head and his coloring make me think of a Call - Khaki Campbell cross.

Ducks have their own little minds, I tell ya, it can drive one to distraction. Einz spent so many days screaming at the new Buffs she actually went permanently hoarse. Why? I don't know. Chemistry. Hormones.

Welcome to the world, spunky!

I would take a stool sample to a vet, have them check it for parasites.

Well, they are mallards - mallard shape, they can fly, lay eggs like mallards (the light blue is within the range of mallard egg color, I believe). That avatar looks like one to me. Take a look at melissamerry's photo's - she has (or had) the Adventure Ducks - white mallards.

Yes there are indeed white mallards.

Hold your head high, Kaessa, as you exit stage right. Could someone reiterate how the eye stripes might help us identify Rouens versus Mallards at a young age, or do I misremember something about that?

Left front might be a Buff?

Fence them. Use sturdy fence. Sad for your loss. Whatever it is has figured out the weaknesses in your system.
