6 day old Duckling not eating but drinking

A one week update, he's still eating and very slowly gaining weight but not growing visibly bigger. Now weighs 67g. Currently just feeding the duckling crumble and very fine minced veggies, and still dosing the water with niacin.

Glad he’s doing better! It will take a while and constant care for a bit
 
He is now 1 month old and has managed to gain weight but has neurological issues with walking. Also he is still stunted in growth, I think I managed to see a few of the pin feathers starting to form 5 weeks of age. He also possibly has waterbelly but cannot fully tell yet.

Him and one of his sisters both around the same age are stunted and have leg problems/neurological problems. Both on b complex and duckling starter. They get to go swimming in their own pool and nap in the grass watching cartoons. They also got wheelchair/scooters to try to get around in when they get a bit bigger. An unfortunate end but they can still have a good life.

Pic is both of them at 5 weeks old.
