Broody duck attacked egg!

[Miss Lydia]

Sure sounds promising.
the membrane is off on the part that's chewed right? hoping that will help when the little one begins to start working its way out. Not having to worry about a dried membrane

 

[DuckGirl2021]

Yes there is not any membrane on his face, I actually now have two in the incubator, my other girl kicked a duck egg out of the nest that was in the process of hatching. She had 10 hatch and I think she grew impatient. This has been an insane ride between these guys and my little Peanut!

 

[Miss Lydia]

Good thing your keeping watch. I came home from church one Sunday a few years ago to a little duckling laying on the walk way outside of the coop. One week before hatch no shell just this duckling. I have no idea how Mama Muscovy got it outside. She would have had to carry it in her mouth. That was not a good hatch I had to remove her other 2 eggs too in the process of hatching

Oh wow, crazy what they do sometimes!

This was the first time she had gone so nuts she has always been a good mama and broody too.

The little guy hatched but I think he has wry neck. Do I just need to feed him supplements like I’m doing when Peanut?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes but he might not want to eat or drink for a day or two. Can you post some pictures or a video of the little one? if it's wry neck he's is going to need Vit E and selenium [scrambled eggs] and some liquid B complex.

The picture quality isn’t the best since he’s sitting in the incubator

 

[Miss Lydia]

Sure looks like it could be wry neck. Hopefully tomorrow you can start wry neck treatment @New duck mommy 2021 can give you more info on treating and using the scrambled egg and Vit E and liquid BComplex has thiamine in it which is another important mineral your little one will need for treatment. And then again tomorrow he might be much better.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Open a vit E capsule 400 mg prick it an squeeze it over the scrambled egg more than likely you’ll get 2-3 meals out of a scrambled egg. Mash it up real good.
