Checked on the babies this morning, they are 1-2 weeks old and one of the ducklings was under the heat lamp kicking and struggling so that he had cleared all his bedding out in a circle under the heat lamp. He was holding his head back at a weird angle and I'm not sure if he's making a little heh-heh sound like he's stuffy or just harder to breath with your head against your back. I stuck his beak in a dish of water and I think he got a little bit of water. I must have calmed him down, I hope that's it, as after I set him back in the pen he tried to waddle (squirm more liked it, didnt' get all the way up on his feet) a few inches then rolled over onto his left side again and kicks his upward foot every so often. I don't have a clue as to what went so suddenly wrong overnight, or how to take care of him. Any ideas?
So sorry this is my first post. I've been reading this site for years and not had anything really to brag about/ freak out over before.
