Baby duck, still no progress!

She's laying down a lot and flopping around quite a bit.

Hi, I hatched 6 Cayuga ducklings, one died within 30 minutes of hatching it had not absorbed the yolk completely and there was nothing that could be done. Another hatched after 3 days and from the pointy end of the egg. After it hatched it just lay there hardly moving with it's eyes still closed. I was positive that it wouldn't last the night as it was laying on it's side with head flat on ground and all floppy with no strength in neck at all! Fast forward 24 hours and there was a slight improvement. Fast forward another 24 hours and it was up eating and drinking and playing with it's siblings. Although noticeably smaller than the other 4 at 11 days old now this duckling is by far the friendliest, bravest and best swimmer of the lot. Also, it is not shy about pushing it's more larger siblings aside to get at the food and mealworms!
So, there's hope there and I wish you the best of luck.
