I brought home baby ducklings yesterday and one didn't make it, it was so much smaller than all the others. But my next smallest won't drink any water or dunk his head. his nostrils look clogged and his eye looks iffy as well. all my other ducks are doing a great job of dunking their heads, but for some reason he stands off to the side with his wings sticking out. I gave him a bath and that sort of helped the problem but I'm afraid he won't start drinking again. please help:(
 
Could you get her a poultry vitamin and give him a few drops orally? Let us know if you do, and we can give you instructions. Don't give another bath for now. What's the temp in your brooder, and can you try offering the duckling some mashed scrambled eggs?
