This is normal, isn't it?

I had a duckling hatch last night. It seems healthy, but is still wobbly when it walks and isn't eating or drinking much. I'm guessing that's normal for the first day or so after hatching, but I thought I'd ask on here just to be sure. Can someone reassure me? Thanks.

Consider yourself reassured.

Newly hatch ducks and chicks are all a wee bit wobbly and uninterested in eating and drinking right away. Give it a few hours to find it's legs. Just keep an eye on it because it should start eating and drinking the day after the hatch.
