1wk old Pekin Duckling laying down a lot

[Lkbass2007]

I had a couple eggs and incubated them and only got 1 out of 2 and his daddy lives here on the lake we live with and I started letting him hang with dad to early apparently and a coyote got him so I ordered 2 females from Metzer farms and they shipped them but 1 was gone before I received View attachment 2286228View attachment 2286228View attachment 2286231 them so I called and they are sending 2 more to replace but this one I have had for 4 days is laying a lot I have her a mirror and a stuffed duck for company but she is laying down a lot and the other 2 should be here in a day or so. I am worried her legs aren’t strong and I have niacin powder I mix with her water and mash sweet peas up with her duckling food made by manna pro non medicated starter grower is she getting enough vitamins or to much? I hate to see her laying down so much could it be she is still lonely and hopefully when the other 2 get here she will pipe up.

In that brooder she has little reason to move about as everything is close at hand. I'd cut back on the peas just a bit so that she eats more of the duckling feed. From the picture she appears to be bright and in good health.

Ok thank you so much for answering I have a larger one I may put her in I was waiting for the others to arrive so she wasn’t in a big area alone but that way I can get her walking around it more.
