yes they were dehydrated when they came then they drank and the next day we found flappy the duck dead in 1/4ïnch of water the other one died one hour later by a broken neck. i accidentally left her on the bed when i turned around she fell i think she was trying to get to me minutes later she died

I'm so sorry to hear that. I've actually heard many people talk about ducklings dying because of broken necks. When ducklings get dehydrated it takes faster to kill them then it would a full sized ducks not to mention ducks need more water than a chick would because they also use it to clear their upper respiratory tract. It probably made them weaker and when it did go get a drink of water it probably collapsed then drowned in the water. What kind of ducks were they?

Yep since that breed has such a long neck it's fairly common. It's probably because their posture and longer neck that makes it so fragile. (All necks are fragile at least)
