"sleepy" duckling

[DuckMyLife8]

My first ducklings arrived (born Monday arrived Wed morning) and sadly, their gro gel was completely dried up and one duckling was deceased. Everyone else seems fine, eating and drinking normally and active, except for one female Buff Orpington. This morning she was very sleepy, eyes half closed and only eating and drinking occasionally, kind of falling asleep standing up in front of the water. She would jolt awake, take a drink or a bite, then back to sleep. After they all settled in and napped good she finally perked up and ate and drank and was much more active but she's still just a little more noticeably "tired" than the others, even though she's slightly bigger that most of them. I added some "save a chick" electrolytes to their water(deep enough to clean nares) and they're eating Kalmbach Flock Starter crumbles wetted down(complete for ducks). Going to get Durvet B Vitamin liquid tomorrow and going to try giving her cooked egg tonight for a little boost. Is there anything else I can do to help her?

When my Runners were suffering from shipping stress I started feeding them scrambled eggs and boy did that perk them up. I lost 2 before I thought of the scrambled eggs but the other two made a complete recovery.

Sounds like you are doing the correct line of action for this type of problem. Hopefully, some time and vitamins will perk the little ones up.
