Hello I am a new duck mama... and I got everything ready for my duckling also things that was provided by their duck owner at the farm (Food, bedding) my duckling was doing fine for the past 4 days and today he was doing fine walking chirping a lot as usual then I come back to see he is weak he cannot walk and his head tilts all the way back as if it can’t hold it on its own. I have tried saline water as I researched online ( Sugar,warm water) and I mashed his food up so he can take it in more.. he has been pooping black which to my understanding online, that Is good. Which makes me happy because he is eating and drinking with being hand fed by me with a saringe with his sugar water little by little and mashed up duckling food I was provided when I picked him and his brother up. He is some what finally TRYING to move but he cannot as he’s too weak to even try... I have him separated from his brother in a box with heat and bedding and warm cloth he chirps here and there I hesr him finally than before, but what can I do to help him? I am doing everything I can to help my Duckling but if anyone who’s more experienced in this could please send me some information/feed back it would be the most appreciated thing ever. He is not even 2 weeks old yet .
