Got 2 silver appleyard ducklings a few days ago from bomgaars and I noticed one of them looks smaller than the other and looks skinny when laying down. It eats and accepts food that is handfed to it. Not sure if something is wrong or if im just overreacting. I've been feeding them duck pellets mixed with chick start and recently moved to just duck pellets

They are adorable. Maybe they aren’t ready for pellets yet. I’d also put feed into something besides a chick feeder so they can scoop it out better they also need a head dunking waterer. Some ideas. Place your waterer on top of a tray to help contain spills. And remember to add some Nutritional yeast to their feed. 1 Tab per cup for leg strength.
