I’ve had 2 ducklings hatch from my 6 eggs, originally 8 eggs. The first one that hatch yesterday, winston has a lame leg and hasn’t opened it’s eyes really. It just drags one leg curled up. The other duckling only hatch an hour ago and is up and well. What could this be? Thank you
 
Welcome to BackYard Chickens!

Could you post a video or picture of the lame legged duckling?

it can hold its head up but doesn’t try to use that leg really
