Advice & Help Needed. New duckling throwing head back, spinning in circles.

[Sundevill11]

I have a duckling that just hatched today at 7am. Is this a sign of an issue: It has difficulty holding its head up and obviously can’t walk yet. I would appreciate any help if anyone has it.

It just had a exhausting time hatching. Is it completely fluffed up already? I don’t think any of mine took that long but it may still just be tired. Did you have any issues during incubation? Are there any other ducklings?

Hi- i just posted a video above. No other ducklings. Its totally dried. It seems like a large duckling and was jam packed in the egg

@Miss Lydia Would you have any insight on this? Is there any positive outcome?

What I'd do and I saw this online is put the duckling into a sock a child sock would be best head sticking out and place in the brooder.

@DuckyDonna has the video This really helped this duckling and it may be just what your little one needs right now.

It’s bill was dipped into water but doesn’t seem interested in drinking.

Thank you both so much. @DuckyDonna @Miss Lydia This duckling is super special to carry on the lineage of Poncha & Lefty.

I love that video. I've watched it a bunch of times. Nice for something to have a happy ending!
