I have eight ducklings and one seems unwell. He can't walk at all but still seems active. He has not moved spots since multiple days ago. I have separated him so he could have food and water close by. Are there any suggestions on what I should do? He is 2 weeks old and I am unsure what to do. Please help! (Edited) He wont stop closing and opening his/her beak constantly.

I would suggest giving him Niacin supplementation. Do an on site search on 'niacin deficiency in ducklings'. Good luck

Thank you for the request but their water has niacin supplementation in it. Their food also has a decent amount of niacin as well. I think I have enough but do I add more?
 
i would put dried oatmeal in my ducklings food to give them extra protein and niacin. this is what i do for my ducks. Also, make sure te food is not wet because it can start to have mildew in it.

You can get the oatmeal on amazon or your local grocery store. I will send a link from amazon.
