Duckling seems to have no vent?

Sadly the chick died in the night :( very upset by this. Before I went to sleep last night I noticed it was sneezing and had slightly yellow mucus dripping from it's nostrils and mouth. Comparing it to the other duckling this morning, it really hadn't grown much since it had hatched.
Not entirely sure what to do now, as this means I only have one duckling... And the weather is horrible in England at the moment, so it can't go out with the other ducks.

Thank you everyone for your responses and support.

Thanks, I am currently looking for a fluffy enough teddy bear for the duck, just concerned my partner wont want me to outright buy any more ducks... Though I'll have to because it won't be fair on the duckling. I will contact the only person who sells ducks around here and see if they have any ducklings I guess

Hey, I can't really get a better closer image of it while trying to hold the chick with one hand and take the picture with the other :(. My issue is that it seems to protrude out of the duck's body, as opposed to being a hole

From what I can tell, it was normal. Just couldnt see it to well XD
