Need advice about my ducks!!!

[Bsranch3]

My girls don't seem interest in setting on them. They are free spirits and don't wanna be tied down

My system has worked out pretty good for keeping em safe now. I have had one loss in the past 6 months and I think he just wanted to be a free bird.. Male mallard liked to fly

I would like to add that every night the past five nights my ducks have been in their coop ready for bed. All except three, my two little white calls and one mallard hen that they are bad influences on

HELP MY DUCKLING SEEMS SICK

My 13 day old duck baby seems to be sick, at least that's what I assume.

When it was time for an evening snack i noticed Lamont acting weird. The lil guy did not partake in snacktime. I observed him for a few minutes and He is quite lethargic, his eyes are glassy. His breaths seem to be a Tad rapid. He is also constantly peeping but very quiet. Hes been this way for about an hour. I'm very worried.
We have seperated him from the other 5, lying him on the bed sittin on paper towles. so we can keep a close watch.
I don't believe anything out of the ordinary has happened. He was hanging out with his 4 older peking friends inside before hand and was acting fine. Eating and drinking fine.
We put the pekings in there outdoor coop And returned to give the babies their snack.....

here's a picture of him... any advice would be amazing!

@bsranch sorry I haven't been up here. That is awesome though. Yesterday my husband let out our ducks and I freaked out because I was so afraid we wouldn't get them back in. The mallard's led the bunch. They were running like crazy. Got them a bucket of feed and they went back in. White pekin's led the bunch then. Had to duck rodeo the mallard's a little bit though. lol.

@reese As for little Lamont have you tried any probiotics or vitamins and electrolytes???

Try posting in the thread my babies hatched early, there are a couple of ladies helping me out in there that might be able to help.... Is he any better or worse today?

I got an email about posted thread in too many areas. It's 6pm and he's started something different. Standing with his head crouched constant peeping in despair. If we hold him he seems to calm down, resting but still peeps.
