They get fluffy from noodling each other..That takes a few days..

I wasn't ever able to get PND. None of our stores had it. I ended up just getting some Sav-a-Chick electrolytes/vitamins and probiotics. They're doing a whole lot better. Staying on there feet! I moved them in with all the others and they're doing fantastic. See if you can spot the 2 week ones.

I think the non-fluffiness is a side effect of a hard hatch or something went wrong with incubation in the egg.

Note: I don't have ducks, this is my experience with hatching chicks.
Hatch before last, one of my chicks needed assistance hatching. It also had trouble walking for the first week or so. It looked scraggy for the first 2 weeks.

This chick didn't need help hatching, but It too had leg problems and I needed to make it a boot. It is the only chick that didn't fluff up.

Sure wish I could.

Hope they get better tim!
Put poultry probiotics in their water, along with nutridrench and apple cider vinegar. Brownies (one of my chix as u know) seemed weak and cold, but I added all that to the water and now she is healthy and full of vigor. Good luck!
