My one week old duckling isn't putting any weight on it's leg. It doesn't even use it to swim😔 looks like just the foot is turned up

Is there any way you can get your duckling to a vet? I honestly don't think you can turn the foot to its normal position yourself. Did you check for slipped tendon?
Did you hatch this duckling and did it need help hatching explain why and the problems this could be a slipped tendon or a birth defect.

Please take a picture of the duckling on the floor so we can see how it is holding the foot and leg. Thanks.

It is definitely it's tendon how do I do it without hurting poor lil guy.

If it is over a week old a vet should have a look. I don't think you can do it without injury.
Read this and see if you can gently do what is recommended here. I would let the duckling be in some nice warm water since this will relax the muscles and may help.
Post back what you did and where you able to get the leg moved at all.
