1 week Duckling Fell!

[IrisJade]

Will my guy be okey??
This duckling fell from trying to climb my arm His behaviour is just laying down probably in shock i hope its not too bad.. he can walk and stand just seems to want to sleep right now he responded to some treats, i was quite worried something was broken. But he seems to move his neck and everything else, He seems to Chirp while sleeping every now and then, hope hes not in pain

I hope so too! He has eaten and drinks, I think he is in shock? and he just moves abit but mostly lays down. will this shock kill him do you think?

What kind of brooder is he in? Does the duckling have other siblings? I would put him on some soft bedding under a heat lamp. Post some pictures. I suggest sitting when holding the squirmy babies

For shock you can put a teaspoon of sugar in a one cup of water and offer him to drink from that , and do what @picklestheduck said

What does the sugar do?

 

[picklestheduck]

It’s a home made electrolyte mix unless you have some already

I also suggest giving some nutritional yeast over some scrambled egg or food
