3 day old duckling with frothy mouth

[laws24]

I just got new baby ducks on Saturday and after a long 6 hour drive yesterday one of the smallest has a frothy mouth. It's also smaller and less feisty and energetic than the others. I am new to ducklings and new educating! What do I do? is this normal? what are some basics I should be doing? I've done chicks but this is a whole new ball game!

Do you have water for them 24/7? They need that.

It would be good to give it gro gel, or at least some vitamins with electrolytes and probiotics.

If you need to travel with them, a travel water container is a very very good idea. I use a zip-lock lidded container, with the center cut out of the lid, leaving an inch to inch and a half of the lid around the outer edge. Ducks can drink out of it with minimal, if any, spillage.

And that really really helps on long car trips.
