If you are not doing Nutridrench (vitamin supplement), then add some apple cider vinegar to the water for drinking.

I hope your little one starts doing great!

Just bread, oats and fruits. I bought some niacin last night after reading some of the posts here. I couldn't get any duck food in the shops here. But I ordered some online today.

Your shops have chick starter/chick feed, yes? Please, just get some of that while you are waiting for the other and give it to her ASAP... don't feed anything else but regular chick feed for now... she is severely malnurished at this point and just needs the closest to a balanced feed you can get... I have my for you and your duckling...

But no medicated chick feed. She will overdose and die from medicated feed.

No, she won't... most medicated feed now just has Amprolium added... doesn't affect ducklings...

Good to know and sorry for providing false info. What Is the a kind of med to not give ducks? Just so I can be more informed and properly cautious.

That is *not* true! Medicated feed that contain amprolium, bacitracin, and a few of drugs are perfectly safe for ducklings.
