Help day old duckling very weak

[Showe2632]

Hi I need help on what to do with a day old ducking. She is very week I had to assist her hatch and she was malpositioned. The only duckling out of 3 malpositioned that has made it so far. She is in the incubator at 99.5 and has been. Still laying on her side a peep here or there and little movement of her feet and head. I have just started giving her duck egg yolk mixed with electrolytes water and molasses. She has perked up since I started two hours ago when she was practically lifeless. What can I do to save her. Still has a bit or the egg attached.

Hi. How is it doing? I would have done the same thing, and have. I'd leave it in there if it takes a couple of days to get up and start walking around.

Why are they all mispositioned or did you have more that weren't? It just sounds like a lot of them and wondering what's causing this. Assisting is sometimes necessary but if it can be avoided in the future, that'd be so much better!
