Struggling with my current duck hatch

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

I love when they run!

I gave it a bit of nutridrench. I notice it has a little click when it breathes. It’s little leg is also curled.

Does nutridrench have sugar in it? I give my newly hatched ducklings warm sugar water, it really peps them up.

I don’t think it does. I might try that in a bit. Thank you.

If you do try sugar water I wouldn't do it more than once. I'm pretty sure with shipped ducklings they just rec when they first arrive.
I'd also put some Nutri drench in their water . Hopefully the little one will begin to respond and it's just worn out from taking so long to hatch.
When My shipped ducklings were having a hard time after they arrived [I lost 2] the 2 that were left I made scrambled egg for them everyday and they loved it and it really helped get them up and going.

I did the nutridrench then I made the little one some scrambled eggs. It didn’t want to eat so I’ll try again in a bit. Still not using one leg but looking a bit better and more energetic. Poor little thing is scooting itself around one one leg. Hopefully it was just positioned wrong while hatching.

I'm pretty sure it has molasses in it.

I'm pretty sure it has molasses in it.

Yes, it does I just looked.

Oops my bad. I never read the ingredients… lol

It’s still not wanting to eat. I put it in with the others and they encouraged it a bit but it only took a teeny bite and a few sips of water.
