Duckling Can't Walk

[fluterose]

I just hatched ducklings with my incubator two days ago but one of them can barely scoot around to move and to stand it has to sit up like a penguin but that takes so much effort it starts shaking. It will eat if I hold food in front of it and it will drink water if I stick its bill in the water but other than that it won't. If anyone knows what is going on I would be very grateful!

So sorry

yeah, its ok though. my dad always says that if there is something wrong with them and they die its God's way of helping it because something was going to be wrong with it in the future and it was going to suffer.
