Wrap the duckling in a small towel before so she'll not be too stressed out. I would def be giving to all your ducklings I used a quart of luke warm water to a dropper of Liquid Bcomplex for my ducklings. Any that wouldn't take it over something and had an issue that needed it gets it orally.

You're the BEST!!! Thank you so much for your guidance and patience. So all of the ducklings should be getting the vitamin B complex daily. I can do this by giving them 1ml vitamin B complex in a quart of warm water in their brooder, once a day (for all 6 to share)? Any that are having problems should also get 1ml vitBcomplex per day (as well as their shared water?)?

One last question, when can the two 3 day old ducklings go in with the four just over a week old ducklings? The lady at TSC told me to keep them separated until the youngest were more steady on their feet. They all seem to equally steady from what I can tell.

Thanks again, for everything!

Do you have a syringe? are you a medical person at all? I use a 14 ga plastic angiocath sheath to give meds to my ducks and it's so easy! I know I 'm getting all of it into them too. If you don't know what that means just let me know and I can try to help you find one. I cut off a bit of the beige plastic part and just direct it right down the duck's right side of its mouth. It's kinda like a straw that locks onto a syringe (Leur lock). If you can find something like this you know it's all going down the duck where it should go. If you've ever gotten an IV this is that that plastic part is that stays in your arm.
