HELP MY DUCKLING

Op, I'm so sorry your going through this. It is probably very stressful, and over whelming. Your doing the right things, its hard to learn everything in one night, essepcailly when you weren't planning on having ducklings. I agree it may be a good idea to see if someone else has more time for these guys. Sounds like your doing a great job with your chicks, but that on top of school, on top of learning how to care for ducklings is going to be really hard, and really stressful. You shouldn't have to deal with all of that. At least see if you can find someone who can help you out.
Plus, cost is something to consider. Ducks eat twice as much as chicks, and need twice as much space. Building an area big enough for them, and feeding them along with the chicks might get overwhelming. Do your best, you got this. Just try to think about the best step to take for yourself and these babies. Virtual hugs coming your way.
I'm so sorry for your loss, you did everything you possibly could for that duckling. :hugs
 
Update: they both had a defincancy and developed wry neck and that caused constipation which their buttholes weren't cleaned so it was clogged and caused a toxin which damaged their insides and i was exposed to the toxins to which is why I have simular syntoms but it won't kill me
