chick problems any ideas?

I am hatching out some ducks and most of the chicks are ok but about 1 in 10 act goofy. They tip upside down and don't seem all there. I set them up and they flip back over any ideas?

IF I remember right, it can be due to too high of heat through incubation.

Could be a number of other problems as well.

I've had similar problems, I would take the ones that flip upside down and stick them in a very  small brooder where they are not disturbed by the others. Have food and water close with extra course footing.

I had 3 birds two days ago act the same way. I was going to cull them when my wife said wait and give them the extra attention.   I did what I recommended above and all three are doing great and have stopped flipping over. Last year I had the same problem but the abdomen was noticeably larger than the rest of the chick. He never did make it and I ended culling him.
