Duck photos
Hey everyone, first time duck owner and got two male ducklings from Metzer farms. The breed is White Layer and recieved them on 9/6 (10 days at time of writing). One duckling is fine, growing and weighing at about 10oz. My other duckling arrived already smaller, with a black marking on its head, cloudy eyes, eyelids a bit crusty, and bubbly poop. He weighs about 7-8 oz and I have given them nutrients to stop the bubbly poop. He also does not clear his nares or likes water. The first few days I had to manually dunk his head under because the there was a build up in the nare holes. I attached some pictures and hope maybe some of you duck veterans can offer some advice/what might be wrong with the duckling. Oh, his nares and beak are also smaller.
