Very weak duckling! Help!

Assisted hatching went pretty well, there was very little blood and after I helped a little the duckling made its way out.
I had one like this not that long ago and it had to stay in the incubator for 48 hours after assisted hatching. Did you do as suggested earlier and wipe the eyes off with a damp cloth?

@the4citychickens hows your little one this morning?
Last night she wasn’t looking at all so I gave her some B Complex drops incase of a niacin deficiency. She perked up so much this morning. She runs around and chirps and ready to be with her chicken mama! Thank you all for the support, I couldn’t have done it without you all.

Best of luck
I used the B complex shown in this article and she perked up!! She’s running and chirping. I really didn’t think she would pull through thank you so muc!!
