Help! I'm new to raising ducks and my duck is being picky

I'm really worried about my duckling since they haven't been eating as much as they did the first three weeks... :< is it possible that my duckling is depressed because their sibling/buddy died? Should I keep my duckling with me more hours of the day?
a bit of good news! I kept my duckling with me for a while as I studied, placed them in their pen for now as I cleaned and they ate a little bit more :) Still not as much as they did before but- its a good sign,yes? they eat a lot more when i'm near as I've observed lately...
 
I'd stick with poultry feed. Drop feeding oats because you are diluting the amount of protein ducklings need to grow properly. If you go with Nutritional yeast in tablets just crush up enough to make 1 tablespoon and sprinkle over their feed. 1Tab to each cup of feed . I use chicken feed and sprinkle the Nutritional yeast over top of the feed.
Bless you and your moms hearts for saving these ducklings They are sure a blessing. And spending time with them maybe just what they are needing to get them back to eating their feed again, Enjoy them and post pictures when you can.

Thank you so much! I'll try saving up more money for good quality nurtritional yeast :)) Maybe I could stick to green peas for a week until i earn enough to buy the yeast? it's quite expensive in my country and we don't exactly have the instant money for the shop's price that I saw. I'll also try asking my mom if she could help me with funds to buy the yeast by sunday or tomorrow :)
Thank you so much for the help!

This was them a few days ago :) :
