He drags his leg like this when he tries to walk

It can take up to 24 hours before they can walk if it's still absorbing it's yolk? Place it in a margarine container on paper towel and do not give it anything by mouth.

The duck cant put the foot under him and just drags it behind him. The others are already standing up straight but not walking

That sucks. Hmm? Possibly weak tendons in that leg.

Im just worried that it might not be able to survive.

Well that's something you will have to decide? Either try weeks of trying to correct the leg or culling it? Best wishes..
