ive just hatched out 4 call ducklings they are now 4 - 5 days old. the 1st 3 to hatch are doing really well but the last one is still very wobbly on his feet, he is alot smaller than the others and seems to walk on his tip toes . when he is first awake is lively but becomes tired alot quicker than the others. he seems to struggle to eat he puts his beak into the food then shakes his head , im not sure if he is actually eating anything or not. ive mixed some food into water to see if this helps him. he is drinking ok . one thing weve noticed is that he uses his feet to scratch the side of his beak /head - the others are not doing this. he is half the size of the others. weve also noticed we cannot see his beak nostrils easily like the others - ive just bathed them with warm water this seems to have worked one side. -is there anything further i could do to help him
