so what breed is this? And kudos for using the forum. Its a great source of info!! My ducklings took a day to fluff up but it can be different with no mama.
How are things? Update?
Just remember your mama. So do what she would. Clean, warm. Huddle. Rest. And talk smooth chat reassure .....its scary out there!
I had one do that same thing. Just a hole. It died overnight. The second night. After that we started rescue operation . It should be making some progress, cracking....chipping along the zip line. Id keep a close eye...are the others doing ok?
FYI...you can encourage the chick with talk. Mama hen usually does...your mama now. It really can make a difference. They try harder when they hear you rooting for them.

Keep it quiet will help her stress. Give her some TLC. Some treats, extra attention can make a difference. Protein. Clean water. Some spinach in the water bowl. Pamper her. Sometimes they just need some TLC to pull through. And indoors for sure! And cage where she can't move too much. Keep...
So my two pet mallard ducks were killed this am in my back yard. My security cam shows a fast moving animal like a coon or medium size dog? The ducks were skinned in head and breast eaten. The boy really rallied to her defense but he was brutalized badly. His entire neck was skinned. Horrible...
