A couple days ago I noticed one of my 6 week old khaki Campbell ducks was not moving. We brought it inside in a pen to keep it away from the other ducklings. This duck won’t walk or hardly move, it just stays in one spot all day. We have to feed it by hand to get it to eat. I was reading that it may need niacin or brewers yeast. My wife just picked up some niacin to try but couldn’t find brewers yeast. Also tonight I noticed it’s neck is very swollen, almost like a crop on a Cornish Cross. I don’t believe ducks have the same type of crop? And I know this duck has not eaten much. Any ideas?

More information would be helpful, What are you feeding them? Is she eating/drinking? Could you post a picture of her poop? Anything she may have gotten in to, rotten carcass, maggots, moldy feed? How do her legs feel, warm? Could you post a picture of the swollen part of her neck?

I'd feel her neck up and down for any foreign objects. Keep her in a warm/quiet place with plenty of food and water for now.
