Runt Duckling Can't Walk

I had a feeling I'd have to say this right when this started but sadly he passed around 6:30, right before we were about to leave the house. He was sitting up with a rigid neck and twitching a little bit - pretty much knew he wasn't going to make it after his condition started deteriorating so fast.

I suspect some kind of genetic issue - don't think I could've done anything about it. Don't know if it was a boy or girl either; tried vent sexing them all but couldn't really figure it out. First time losing a duckling which hurts, especially after losing one of my original flock earlier this week to what was probably some kind of laying related issue.

Thank you all for your concern and support.
