One of my three little ducklings randomly falling over

Make sure it's nutritional yeast and not baking yeast. Big difference. But when one is already has a problem liquid B complex is better.

I hope you helped the little duckling right itself when it was on its back. That can be very stressful for one.

It takes a little effort but you can get the top off the bottle without having to use a syringe to get the liquid out. Then just use the rubber stopper to keep it fresh and place in the frig. Don't give it cold to your young duckling though.

You may want to have 2 brooders going anyway the ducklings are much messier than the chicks and you don't want the chicks wet.

something else put the chick grit in a separate container from their feed they will use it as needed.

I just realized I didn't even respond to half of your post. It is nutritional yeast, we are big into clean cooking. Currently, the chicks and ducklings are all inside of a 107-gallon outdoor chest like you would use to put a water hose or outdoor tools inside of, I wanted to give the chicks and ducks the most possible space. Currently using the Roosty's feeder and water, it has 3 height adjustments on it to help keep the food and water elevated. When you mention not wanting the chicks wet, are you referring to the ducklings splashing in the water? So far they haven't made a huge mess, I believe it's deep enough for them to stick their entire beak into and being elevated a little harder for them to play in. Thank you again for all of this helpful information, we want to ensure they all have a great life with us!

The little duckling weighs in at 79g, the other 2 we got at the same time weigh roughly about 68g each.

How’s the little one doing today?

 

[ctroxtell]

The little duckling is walking around, as I was watching the duckling earlier I noticed that one in particular will walk somewhere and then sit down it seems more so. We went to Tractor Supply today and they did not have the viatamin B and all of the other feed stores showing they carried it were closed so the plan is to pick it up tomorrow.

It's good to catch it early they get over it faster.

The little duckling was fine then it randomly started again. I took a short video clip in case it helps, the plan is to get the Duvent B injection and some meal worms tomorrow and feed the duckling. How much should the duckling get? Currently, it's on its little feet, seems off balance at times, and prefers to sit but it'll get up and run around with the other two.

Bless it. Be sure that none of the other birds begin to bully the little one. Sometimes that can happen when one is showing signs of having a problem.
This will give you doses and info on Niacin deficiency and becasue it's so young you going to want to mush the mealworms a little so they are easier to eat. Are you offering chick grit? you'll need some since feeding anything other than their crumble they need chick grit to grind it up. You might try just giving the little one a drop at a time just inside the bill let it swallow then do it again if it won't eat the mealworms. [My ducks love them but some don't] Mush-up green peas are another good snack for ducklings and they do have some niacin in them. Buy frozen and thaw under hot water drain and mash just enough of the peas that the duckling will eat it all and get it's full dose.

since this little one is still so young I would go with just a few drops at a time right inside the bill as the info in the link recommends. Right now they need their feed for all the nutrients it can give so treats should be minimal if at all.

Yes, we have a small dish with chick grit inside the brooder. We will definitely keep an eye on the duckling. Thank you again for all of the helpful advice!
