Hello BYC, one of my ducklings is always very tired. She just lays down and isnt as perky as she used to be. She is also making this clicking noise. Her brother is doing just fine though. Does anyone know what this is? How can I treat it? Please help!

How old is she? Where did you get her?
Is she eating and drinking?

Try using a small syringe or dropper and put little drops of raw egg into her mouth, it may help her out.

She is 1 week old. Big R. She is drinking, and kinda eating, not as much as her brother.

Ok I will try, I will update you.
 
Ok I fed her some raw egg. She pooped and it was white. She still seems very sleepy.😕
I would give her some raw egg every hour or so, it should benefit her.
That poop means she's not eating.
If you have electrolytes that would be good to give as well.
 
Poor thing! Not eating isn't good.
How does her crop feel? If you can find it, and feel it.

I’m sorry to inform y’all, but she died last night.😭 I got her brother a new sibling, in case he got lonely. He is getting very attached to her.
