How old is your duckling? I understand that it is imprinted upon you, but they should be equally as bonded to the other duckling housed with it. Ducklings require warmth. It's possible that this baby is too cold and possibly dehydrated so you may consider putting it under a lamp and offering it water. Maybe try a little sugar water to help give it a boost. What are its droppings like?

How old are they? What food are they on?
Can you describe how you mean "weak"? Is he walking, drinking?
