Ok so I have a 2 week old pekin, who keeps doing this hunched back thing and sometimes will fall over on her back. Idk if shes trying to poop. I have seen her poop a few times today and I started them on breyers yeast just tonight. I tried to post a video but it wouldnt let me. So heres the best pic I could get

Sorry to hear about your duckling.

Could you post a video of her doing this stance? To post a video, you upload the video to a video platform like Youtube to Vimeo and then copy/paste the link here.

How long has she been acting like this? Have you seen her poop yet, if yes, could you post a picture? Is she exhibiting any other symptoms besides this? What are they being fed? Any treats, if so, what? What did you put in their water that changed the color?
 
Ive noticed it since this morning. I saw her poop twice which were diarrhea. And then once in the bath which had a solid piece and then white. I have them on duck feed from tractor supply. The water is orange cause it has an electrolyte and probiotics pack from tractor supply. Ive given them dried mealworms as a treat but she hasnt eaten any in 2 days. No other symptoms besides the ones I described. Ill try to post the video. Vent looks normal
 
I did some stimulation and got a little poop out. Was normal and solid
How does her vent (is it called a different thing for ducks?) look? Poopy, crusty, malformed, small, dry? Any of those?
It really seems like she's trying to poop.
