Why does my duckling sleep like this?

[Downey0001]

Has anyone else seen a duckling sleep and constantly lift his head up and down? I have three now 6 week old and the littlest who only had one working leg when born for a few weeks but has made a full recovery () sleeps weirdly.... I'll attach a video. The other two sleep as normal with their head tucked under a wing normally. One of the other two developed angel wing which was sad to see and we had him with the vet and vet wrap etc. Nothing would stay on him until we tried a cutting from a pair of tights and it's healed 100% after 3 days! Ok I haven't worked out how to post a MP4 video maybe not permitted? Basically he closes his eyes and his head bobs up and down so much so he stretches his neck but is sleeping!

What are you feeding them? It could be a form of stargazing, which is from a deficiency.

They're on the duck grower feed with occasional treats of peas, greens and watermelon.

Just read stargazing is like unable to hold its head up? He has the opposite of that problem lol he's stretching up and coming back down to normal then up again.
