Duck is pointing the floor with his beak.

[kurak3000]

Hi. I come with another mysterious question
One of my ducks sits down more often than the others.
Before he sits down he very slowly lowers his head down, just like in the picture.
When his beak touches the floor, his legs are shaking, he sits down fastly. It looks a bit like he wants to do a poo or stretch his back, or maybe adjust crop.
He eats special feed for ducks, and have water all the time. I think he will be drake, because others start quacking a bit.
Do you think he is behaving normally? Otrhers dont behave like that.

This is not normal. It almost looks as if he is using his beak for balance before he sits. He looks weak.

Is he eating/drinking/pooping normal?
Are his eyes and nose clear?
Does he sneeze or make any unusual noises?
How is his breathing?
Does he otherwise act normal?

That definitely isn't normal...Do you provide Grit?
I'm sorry I've never seen that behaviour and think something is wrong.

I agee, not normal. What are you feeding him? Is a vet an option?

He eats special feed for young ducks 0-4 week, and have water all the time. I think he will be drake, because others start quacking a bit.

That's definitely not good at all. My recommendation is to start him on vitamins immediately, B12 Complex and maybe some Save-a-Chick water (powder packets are less than $1 each and make 1 gallon). You can let all of them have it.

He is about 5 weeks old. Im feeding him with: "Complete feed for ducks and geese in the period from one day of life to the end of rearing" https://www.karmoteka.pl/kurka-naturka-pasza-dla-kaczki-i-gesi-25kg-p-1891.html .No additional grit.
Eyes,nose clear, breathing normal. I must observe for eating/drinking/pooping, but his weight looks similar to others.

Definitely sounds and looks like a vitamin deficiency.

Vitamins, nutrition, and hidration will help alot, But to me holding its bill like that means "i am realy unwell"

I have vit D for humans (oil in capsules) and food for chicken layers. Will it be useful for something ?
