Can you tell us his age? What you're feeding him? How long it's been since he's eaten? And his brooder setup?

What do you feed them as their normal staple diet? How have you set up his brooder? What are you using for bedding? Does he have access to water 24/7? How warm do you have the brooder?

Sorry for the 20 questions but we'll need to know these things to figure out the problem.

You have to clean the duck's "butt" in order to make it so it can poop. It happens with chicks too. It's a condition called "pasty butt".

The OP said in their original post that they checked for that and the duckling was not pasted up.

I have never been able to get my ducklings or ducks to eat scrambled eggs. That isn't a wholesome diet for water fowl either. Do they get well rounded diet with poultry feed?

I just realized this is the same OP who before was asking in another thread why their ducklings were always hungry, and said they couldn't get a duck or chick starter. So I suspect they are not being fed a good diet.

@duckduckchickenrun what country are you in? You really need to get your ducklings a proper feed, and if people are able to breed and sell ducks in your country, people must also be able to get proper food for them. I suggest you ask the person you bought these ducklings from at the market what they feed their ducks, and start feeding it to these ducklings.

Have you stopped keeping them in a bucket and moved them to a proper brooder? Or moved them outside?

If you're not feeding them the right stuff, it's very possible that this duckling isn't eating because you're not offering it the correct food to eat. You really need to get a proper food for them.
