Hello. I am new to having ducklings. I am experienced with chicks. Two of my ducklings are regular yellow and two are colored with a poof on the head. The two yellow ducklings beaks have turned pale and they are stumbling around. Their legs are not working normally. I am feeding chick starter. Do I need to separate the healthy from the sick? Anyone know if I am doing something wrong or if they were just sick?
 
Welcome to BYC. I would urge you to also post in the duck forum here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/threads/add/forumId/42
I would get some poultry vitamins and electrolytes to put in their water right away, and start them drinking. Ducks can have B vitamin deficiencies, and that could affect the legs. Make sure the vitamins contain riboflavin, thiamine, and niacin. Amiga and others on the duck forum are helpful.
