Duckling leg stretching backwards when trying to walk?

[Kkgrrk]

I have a 5 day old duckling. It was fine till last night. But seems to be walking funny or walking less even. When it walks it kinda like stretches it’s leg backwards time and again. He’s eating fine drinking fine. Also seems to have a swollen area on the neck on the right side. Please help.

Welcome to BackYard Chickens. Would you mind answering a few questions?

What breed is the duckling? Where did you acquire her? What kind of substrate is she being kept on? What is she being fed? Do her leg joints bend properly?

I agree, a video, or a few pictures would be helpful.

Regarding the bulge on the side of her neck, that is likely her crop, but some pictures of that area may be good as well.
