Were they shipped I'm guessing?
Poor little one, he's probably pretty weak. Shipping can take a toll on them.
Do you have any sav-a-chick electrolytes or Nutridrench?
Even molasses will work. He needs a little boost.
 
Warm sugar water, as others have said, should revive the duckling. Hold the little one in your hand and have an oral syringe handy. Pry open the beak and give it a bit of water at a time in the right side of the beak. Let it swallow and give more, until you've give about .5ml. Di it every hour until it's upright and drinking on its own.
