My 2 week old duckling are shaking/having body spasms

You need a all flock food yesterday.
Are you giving chick grits because you need to if using treats (mealworms)
You really need to read after 2 months worth of duck post.
Sorry to sound like a jerk but you need to get more educated on feeding and caring for ducks...
I would get grits, flock food and vitamin b first time tomorrow morning. I would be standing at the door 5 minutes before they open
Please keep us updated
 
Go back to TSC and get liquid B Complex in the cattle dept it will say injectable but just peel the foil off use a dropper and pull out 1 ml put it over just enough meal worms they gobble it right down. the liquid b complex is quick acting and gets our ducklings over the niacin def quicker. This is what most of us use if they are showing issues.
 
This is what your looking for what their bodies don’t need they’ll pee out.

Also do they have a water container deep enough they can dunk their whole heads?

Also they look like they might be kinda hot in the video. Can you reposition the light so they can get to an even cooler area?

I agree with the others about starting b-complex immediately. A deficiency can definitely cause trembling.
 
TSC did not have the vitamin b complex, but a worker suggested poultry nutri-drench to use instead. i also got hydro hen and mixed a little in their water. they seem to be back to their normal selves, but i will continue keep a very close eye on them.
Nutri drench is good stuff for a quick fix, but I'm not certain how much niacin is in it. You really need the liquid B or the brewers yeast for maintenance when feeding chick starter. Liquid will help faster.
