FIRST QUESTION:
27 days ago i bought 3 ancona duck eggs off of ebay from a very reputable breeder and had them shipped to my house. Yesterday was Day 26 and out of the 3, 2 have succesfully hatched! Now here is my dilemma one of my lil babies cannot walk for the life of him and cant hold his neck up on his own. The other one is doing great and walking, drinking, eating doing the normal duckling stuff! My lil gimpy also just lays on his side all day trying without much success to walk. What can i do?


SECOND QUESTION:
My Flock, which consists of 2 Pekin Hens, and 2 Drakes (1 black swedish, and 1 pekin), have just started laying their eggs. I was walking the neighborhood pond where they stay at and found 3 eggs on the bank submerged in water. Are they going to be able to hatch? I know their all fertile since i have 2 others that are on day 10 and they are completely fertile. should i give it a shot? or are they toast? has anyone found eggs in the water and still had them hatch?

ANY ANSWERS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

as far as the lil duckling, get some brewers yeast or plain niacin 100-150mgs plain meaning not flush free or time released, put it into a gal of water then after mixing well place in the water container, Niacin can help with Neurological and skeletal issues.
will he eat and drink okay? you can also pick up some Brewers yeast and mix a tab. into their feed putting a little warm water in it and mixing will keep the Brewer's yeast on the feed instead of in the bottom of the bowl. also poultry vitamins are a good way to help your lil one. other than that I'm not sure. make sure they are on non slippery surface. as for eggs hard to say if fresh you might get some to hatch, worth a try. Hope your lil duckling gets going soon.
