Wobbly, panting duckling. Advice?

[Eggsyduckie]

Like the video shows, I have a duckling that is having multiple issues. Is it sick? Too warm? Too cold? I’m a new duck owner so please help. It has a hard time keeping its balance, and it is panting constantly.
Edit: it is wet because it just got done with a bath, I was hoping it would clear its nostrils if that was the issue.

Sorry, no one responded.

How is she doing?

She passed a few days ago. I’m worried the other one I got with her will end up the same way, we’ve been having terrible luck with ducklings.

So sorry .

Could you give more info about your setup? Where did you buy them, what do you keep their brooder temp at, what are you feeding, are you providing a deep source of water?

Pictures of the ducklings and their pen would be great.

One we got from a poultry auction, and the other two were from a family friend. We have them in a plastic bin with chicken wire over the top, we use puppy pads as bedding to prevent them from eating any other kind of bedding, (changed frequently) and they do have a nice deep dish for water. Their food is Manna Pro starter crumbles non medicated, and I’m not sure what temp we keep them at, they have a heat lamp about 15in above their area on all day but we turn it off at night, they’re kept inside the house in a quiet room.

Do you dry your ducklings off after they take a bath? Even though they're ducks, they need to warm up after getting wet. The duckling might have died because of exhaustion and being cold from swimming. Sorry for your loss.

Yes I try my best to keep them nice and warm after they get done bathing
