    New duckling sleeps on it's back. Wry neck?

    It seemed like it was doing pretty good this morning, but I noticed it wasn't doing so hot. I picked it up and tried to give it vitamins but it couldn't even drink. It ended up dying in my hand. I tried a little CPR, but it was just gone.

    New duckling sleeps on it's back. Wry neck?

    It does still sleep on its back occasionally, but I've seen it get up from that position to go get some water or chase after the other ones a little. I use the word "chase" very loosely. The others are turbo charged and this one very clumsily wobbles after them, lol... Thank you for the...

    New duckling sleeps on it's back. Wry neck?

    Here's a video where you can see what is going on better. Do you think it's wry neck? From what I've been reading, everyone treats it with just vitamins? I can go pick up some polyvisol tomorrow. I feel like it needs a neck brace or something. Maybe even a helmet, lol...

    New duckling sleeps on it's back. Wry neck?

    I'm putting nutridrench in their water and it's drinking that. It doesn't look crested, but one of my ducks are. I don't think this one is from her egg, tho. I'll read up on wry neck; thanks for sugestion.

    New duckling sleeps on it's back. Wry neck?

    It's gotten where it can walk over to the water and is drinking by itself so that is a good sign. It's definitely not as mobile as the others, tho. It holds its neck and head to one side all the time. I've seen it turn it's head the other way, but only does so occasionally. I've started gently...

    New duckling sleeps on it's back. Wry neck?

    I think my constant repositioning is helping; it's sleeping in normal positions now. I think it probably still needs some help. I mashed up a little Flock Raiser in water to make a "soup." The other one is drinking it really well, but the rolly poley one seems to be having some issues with it...

    New duckling sleeps on it's back. Wry neck?

    This one hatched really well on its own and there was no left over yolk. Seems pretty active other than the sleeping on its back thing. I'll be sure to give them all some niacin and vitamins, tho...

    New duckling sleeps on it's back. Wry neck?

    One of my ducklings that just hatched last night keeps flipping itself over on its back. I can stand up and wobble around, but eventually it'll push up with it's legs and fall backwards. It typically sleeps in this position. I've heard that it's not good for them to lay on their back so I've...
