One of my three little ducklings randomly falling over

Did you already say Whisky isn't crested? Good idea to get her back on the Durvet B complex and what is the vitamin complex? Does it have selenium and vit E in it?

I don't believe she is crested.She is on a poultry nutri-drench, I don't see selenium listed, but it has vitamin e.

If you can get poultry Cell made by Rooster booster it has a lot more good vits in it. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/rooster-booster-poultry-cell-16-oz

Got the Poultry Cell as recommended and have been giving 3ml daily along with 1ml of Durvet, hoping it will help her...I just hope she doesn't get worse, she's so sweet and I'll be heartbroken. One of my roosters isn't doing well either, I've posted about him on here. He's all laying down on his side with his legs stretched out, got him isolated as the hens wanted to peck him...my animals are like my family, somethings wrong with both of them .

I'm starting to get more concerned, this morning I noticed Whiskey is even more off balance. Whiskey's wings seem to be twitching as well, so this may be neurological. https://photos.app.goo.gl/KkMQbYb5ZxHCpUDK7

You may be right about it being neurological since your giving her all you can to help. Twitching wings could be from being hot my ducks will do it when we're having a hot day like today. keep up the support though.

Well, I guess it was bound to happen. I was at work when my wife called me in tears. She found Whiskey upside down in the rectangular Sterlite container we have for them to take a quick swim in. I'm unsure what happened exactly but she got to where she would stand up and when she tried to flap her wings she would fall over backwards. I dug her a resting place by the house and held it together well until I picked her up to place her in her final resting place. I'm thankful for the time we did have with her, I'm just glad she is in a better place now.

Oh no. Devastating when you do everything you can and it isn't enough. We have all been there. Empathy.
