Plus you can’t see on the photos but where they absorbed the yolk in it’s quite swollen il try get a photo I’m putting salt water on to try heal it quicker
She’s very chirpy and trying to move about she just hasn’t had much luck she was the last to come out off 14 who are all ok
 
@Jensbetty Make "shoes" for it's little feet, that will help straighten them, where the yolk absorbed that's mushy chick disease, it's bacterial I believe and there's med you can get it to help with the wry neck. I tagged two members I've seen in other posts who are experienced, they may have better advice!
 
It's normal for the belly area to appear swollen once the yolk have been absorbed. If you want to put anything on the area, dab some antibiotic cream (without added painkillers) onto the area, then keep it as clean and dry as you can.
 
In wry neck, vitamin E and thiamine (B1) are important to give. For the feet and legs, niacin (B3) and riboflavin (B2) are good to use. B complex, which has all B’s can be crushed and given with food or in water by dropper. A good vitamin tonic such as Poultry Cell 1 ml daily would be a good source of all of those. Alcohol or iodine would be good to use on the umbilical stump to disinfect and help dry it out. Hope your little one gets better.
 
I'm thinking there is nothing wrong with the Duckling. It can take some Ducklings over 24 hours to find their feet. It's still absorbing the yolk. I place them into a margarine container in the incubator and leave them rest. Don't give it anything by mouth till it's up.
