    Week old duckling not thriving and has a wet vent

    Hello. I have a week old duckling that I hatched from and incubator with 11 other eggs (Mom was killed by an opossum - she was my favorite duck and best layer) The little guy doesn't seem to be growing like the others, and I noticed today it has a wet vent with what looks like it's insides...
