Help! Our baby Muscovy can't walk

[Little Farm Girl]

Our baby Muscovy hatched with its clutch yesterday but then momma and siblings abandoned it, it's been in our incubator since yesterday. It eats, drinks, and tries to walk. We've had chicks with splayed legs before, and it almost looks like the duckling has splayed legs...Any advice on how to fix it? What is wrong with it?

We tried to load a video, but it didn't work.

Can it swim?

It has splay legs so make a hobble for the little one it should be up and running in 2-3 days. Be sure to offer something like Poultry Nutri drench in it's water too that will help give it a good boost.

I'm sure it could, our other ducklings have been able to swim at its age. We will try it, and let you know.
