duckling not eating

[labarn]

I just hatched out a duckling yesterday but I can't get her to eat. I can only get poultry starter in my area and I'm not sure if that will work. Please help. We just can't lose her

They live off the yolk sac for a couple days so don't get too alarmed. try offering her a little chick starter tomorrow with a little warm water mixed into it. Offer water now. dip her bill into it. she may not even take water yet.
