Welsh Harley Duck won’t stretch out neck

[Smurphy]

Our “Harley” Walsh Harlequin is almost 2 months old. Our dog scared her and I think maybe stepped on something but I’m not sure we were chasing her away. But she is having a hard time lifting her head. And something scared her yesterday - have no clue what it was because I was outside with them. She played dead and scared me to death. I just held her and kept rubbing her head. She also had some green poop but it’s not like metallic green. I have kept them inside the last few days. She sleeps and will eat meals worms, but none of the chick food or treats. She is drinking water. We just want to get her better.

Photos of bird and her poo would help us...

"Played dead" and stiff neck? I'd say get some niacin in her. You can buy brewer's yeast for it, and frozen peas are supposedly high in it, if you can get her to eat some of those. Ducks need more niacin than chickens, and some ducks in particular more than others.

Green poop is from not eating usually.

How about wry neck. Not sure if ducks can get it but sounds like some of the symptoms. Heres a link to an article:
