Anything else I need to know about day old ducklings?

I believe that is normal for young ducklings and chicks. They get tired out and fall asleep where they are standing. They may need niacin supplements, though.

The temperature needs to be carefully regulated. Especially the first week of life, anything can happen, they are so fragile.
