Runt Indian Runner Duck

[bobw1952]

I just received my shipment of 11 ducks (ordered 10) and the runt appears to be somewhat listless. Seems to want to sleep but the others are pushing around her and walking over her (or him). Any ideas on what to do? Do I try to setup a separate area for her? The other ten are chirping, walking around, eating and drinking. Thanks.

Welcome to BYC.
Does she appear to be eating and drinking? I would try to start her on some poultry vitamins.

Thanks for your reply - I will try the vitamins. I am a little less concern as she seems to be a little more lively!

I would give her vitamins, I agree with Kevin565. There are also products like Gro-Gel and Sav-a-chik.
