    Maybe Wry Neck, but not Completely Sure

    Super worried about this duck, I’ve seen pictures of wry neck but this looks different. Maybe an early stage I just need help with what to do and how to treat it. I just noticed this today, and haven’t seen any other issues with this duck, or my other duck until now. Please help!

    I just hatched a new batch of chicks- one of which had a severe case of wry neck. His neck was bent up and if he stood up, he fell backwards immediately. Thankfully it is curable!
