Hello! My duck is around 3 months old and I'm pretty sure it's a male, he has a quieter quack and he has a curl to his tail. Recently I noticed that he isn't eating or drinking. I dried to get him to drink but he simply spit it out. He was born with a crooked beak has never caused issues before, I don't think this is the cause. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do or what it could be?
 
Is he pooping? If you had tube feeding equipment you could tube him liquids and then feed, do you happen to have any?
How long has he gone without food and water? Do you have other ducks and are you seeing anyone else having problems?

He.was pooping it was just quite dry. I have 7 other ducks not including hin and they were totally fine. I got him to drink water this morning but he would only eat watermelon and even that he only took a few bites. As for the tube feeding supplies I don't have any but he seems to be doing a little better now that he ate and drank a little, but he still isn't drinking or eating as much as he usually does
 
Ok thank you so much! He ate a little bit this afternoon and I saw a bird vet who gave me a tube feeding set so I am going to use that once it cools off later tonight
