He\she moves and kicks but just flops on his side, it is about 3 hours old now but still hasn't gained the strength to keep his head up and walk he just lays there but still chirps

:welcome Hatching is hard work, and it may take the duckling a while to regain strength. I would not be worried just yet. Is it still in the incubator, and are there more eggs ?
Thanks she is holding her head up now and taking little leaps and flapping her wings a little, and yes there are two other eggs and 5 new eggs that I just put in
 
It usually takes a whole day for them to regain strength. No worry, I would recommend you to put it back to incubator for another 24 hours (make sure turn is off).
 
poor little thing. I hope you can do something to make amends. Did you try to visit a vet for them?
Shes actually fully grown now and I bred her with my friends drake and she laid 18 eggs all fertile but one night someone snuck into my backyard and she freaked out and they shot her so the eggs are in my incubator😢

She was doing way better and was grown now, she bred with one of my friends drakes and after she laid 18 eggs all fertile some dumba$$ decided to sneak in my backyard and when she realized it wasn’t me she freaked out and the dude shot her or stabbed her so I have her eggs in my incubator
