Is her umbillicus okay?

it might be a defect because I've noticed she's not breathing hard and she also can't walk

I'd say a birth defect too. the one side has a hole? and she ISN'T breathing hard ? Are you giving anything as far as vitamins? Has it had anything to drink? Did you try hobbling? only if it's legs are under it like a normal duckling.
 
she's not breathing hard and is drinking and pooping. I'm unable to get vitamins at the moment but I have gave her some sugar water. her legs are under her, she just can't stand up on them, I've tried helping but she just loses her balance and falls. I can see that one foot tends to go over the other.im gonna try hobbling I'll just need to get the materials

Sugar water should not be given but a few times, when folks get poultry shipped to them they rec sugar water just to get them started it isn't something you keep up. Vitamins will be best if you can get them, do you have any B complex vits[human] if you do you can dissolve one in 1qt of water and offer that till you can get vits for poultry. It will benefit all your new ducklings. Or poly vi sol without iron a couple drops a day just inside the bill , have you offered food how is she doing eating?
 
I'm not seeing the deformaty in the beak, I have seen beaks hatched out like that, looks like cuts and what not..

Can you tell me what she is doing now? She needs that belly button cleaned really good and some antibotic ointment on it.
 
her belly button isn't visible at all unless you move her feathers away to see it. it's clean and healthy now :) I've seen her eat and drink but not as much eating as she drinks. I'm really worried about her leg, she seems to only walk on one leg and lifts the other up when she has to move. I felt around and she doesn't show pain when I touch it
