As i was putting my ducklings away the door suddenly slammed shut on one of the ducklings necks. It seemed fine after walking around fine but I'm super scared that it was injured because it slammed pretty forcefully on it's neck and remained shut for a few seconds which was a lot of weight. I'm really scared anyone know anything I could do?!??!
 
Since she's a duckling, her neck bones are pliable and probably withstood the impact. If she was an adult with hardened neck bones, she'd probably have a broken neck.
The concern would be her breathing if her windpipe or even esophagus was injured in some manner. Just observe her for a few days for anything out of the ordinary. That's all you can do for now.
