Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Sorry I have no knowledge of ducks beyond knowing they are adorable. Please go to"Forums" at top of this page and scroll down to "Duck forum." Your questions should find good answers among the experienced duck folks there. Good luck.

Just a few drops of Pedialyte will do, I would administer orally using a small syringe or eyedropper, Make sure not to give the fluids to fast or you can aspirate the duckling, Is the vitamin B pill or liquid form? I would suggest getting a Poultry Vitiman such as Sav-a chick or Poultry Cell, that would be much prefered than the Pedialyte .

yes it is b complex with B12 liquid

Tiny drops under the tongue make sure it swallows after each drop. . And 1 ml in the waterer your using. Poultry Nutri drench is also great for newly hatch babies! When did these duckling hatch?
