Please help! 2-day-old Mallard Duckling

Before we go any further on the video she looks to have Spraddle legs and you need to hobble her to keep her legs under her better. Let me find a link for you.

Oh no i hope it's something that can be fixed

Have you checked her bottom just to make sure she is not got poop stuck on her?

Yes, and from what i can see i don't see any poop.

If you hobble her she’ll walk a lot better and it usually only takes a few days. And yes ducklings peep a lot. Did you try making her feed soupy? When hobbled you don’t want open water in with her. Thank you @MasterOfClucker !

Ok, i'm really glad to hear that! Yes, i made her feed soupy. And i'll do the hobble thing after i figure out what it is from reading the articles. Thank you guys so much and was everything else in the videos ok?

She looks like she’s doing pretty good I think getting hobbles on her will help her a lot with her walking @CoriM did her ducklings they were older before she did it though but she can advise. Do you have any of those cloth hair things to make a pony tail. They are suppose to work good of a bandaid I’m sure the links have ideas too.

 

[Miss Lydia]

You could make her a smaller version of one of these so she can dunk her head but not get into it. Are you still putting the liquid b complex In her water or feed?

 

[Roa]

Yes i have plenty of hair ties! And thank you for the idea, i'll see if i can do that. For the B complex, i gave it to her without mixing it in her water or feed. I had it in a little spoon and if i put it near her she would drink it little by little.

Aww how sweet that’s great since straight is best!
