Weak duckling

[midnitesun]

I has my 1st batch of ducks hatch over the last few days and the last one to hatch seems REALLY WEAK... It can't keep it's little legs under it(they slide to the sides when it moves). When does move it's more like it's flipping to where it needs to go. I've gave it some water, via dropper. It took it VERY well. I also gave it some vitamins, just in case. It will eat duck feed, that I have crumbled for the other babies.
What else should I do?

What do you have on the bottom of the brooder as bedding? Slippery surfaces can sometimes cause that condition. taping the legs together can help to keep the legs in place- but it can also restrict their movement alot so careful attention has to be aid to ensure the duckling is still able to get to its food and water.

This little guy/gal came out of the shell this way.. I have shaving for bedding, but I had to move it away from the other duckling cause it was being picked on, so I moved it to a small box(with food adn water) inside the brooder, so it can still get heat from the lamp and hear it's sibblings.. I also been checking on it every 30 minutes and if needed playing"Momma Duck".
