Could it be vitamin deficient? What kind of food do you have? Some seem to need more vitamins than others. Particularly niacin.

Post a video if you can. You have to upload it to you tube first.

Ok. That is ok to feed your ducklings but It does not have enough niacin. You need to find some brewers yeast or nutritional yeast and mix one tablespoon per cup of feed.

Is there any other kinds of yeast that you can give them?

Actually that has been debunked. The stuff they used to use years ago was bad for ducks but it is fine now. .
But nothing wrong with un medicated
Just to be on the safe side.

I don't think so. You can get other forms of niacin though . . but I'm not familiar with doing that
