worried about this little duckling

[lfrye11]

hey all,
i got some eggs shipped from metzger farms in ca and i live in ky. they are all healthy (15) except one is smaller than the rest. i believe he’s a welsh harlequin. he sleeps way more than the others, and he lays in my hand without resiting at all. all the others squirm or kick. he does eat and drink ( i dip his bill into the water but i’m sure he does it when i’m not there too). any suggeetions on what to do or do u think he’s fine?

I would not Brood Chicks and Ducklings together..
Might need wet feed to a soupy mix..Easier for Ducklings to eat. Plus they require water deep enough to wash nares and eyes...
