Thank you very much for responding. I am going to take her to an vet chiropractor to see if they can help. I thought maybe so many nights that she turned over on her back may have done some damage.
She does swim just fine and has the spirit of a warrior.

Vet Chiropractor? Wow, that's fabulous!!

I hope you will update with what the doc has to say. This could help a lot of folks that are not as fortunate to be able to take these animals to vets.

There is a genetic "wry neck" that I think is similar to wry tail, and I happen to own one such duck. Let me see if I can find a picture of her.

So she's been able to live a normal life? Bless her little ducky heart!

She's sort of a "special needs" duck in that I have to make sure she has a water and food source that low enough for her. She appeared around the same time as a couple with wry tail, and one with what looked like scoliosis. The other three were drakes, so I sold them for meat. It's been two years and I haven't seen any since then.

Interesting. I wonder if it's some sort of growth defect. I'm glad she's doing okay.
