@casportpony has a good pic of opening the beak.

Is it drinking it's water? You can add it all to the waterer if you need to. It won't hurt any of the other ducklings, I'm giving all the vitamins to my new babies currently.

Also, what feed are you using? Pellets are a bit big for babies. I've had to blend the duck pellets into crumble for the first week.

Try just dribbling it on the side of the bill. And yes put it in their water too if the little one will drink. You can make their feed soupy also with a little warm water added. And a few drop of acv to keep it fresh.
