Ducking neck problem?

[Aquam29]

Have you tried to straighten it or message it?...My Hen landed on a Call Duckling and that's what I did. She was fine after that..

I haven't but I definately will! Do you think I should let her go back with the other two ducks, keep her alone or put her with the duckling? Trying to figure out how to make her comfortable enough to get a little sleep

Always less stress with the others...

I tried massaging it and even stretching it a little bit it seems so stiff and like there are hard kinks where I did not feel them on my other runner duck...

Any chance of a vet? Maybe severe sprain. Does she eat drink okay? What exactly happened?

Not positive we had a larger duck that she got in a fight with. She was missing feathers on the back of her necklace also where the big kink is so I'm wondering if is just sore their right now. It was hard for me to straighten it out.

It's like she may need physical therapy maybe put her into a tub of very warm water and get it as deep as you can so she can dunk her head hopefully the warm water will help her relax her neck and work the kinks out. I'd at least try that.

Is she eating and drinking okay with her neck like that.

That looks awful. Poor thing. I would watch how the others treat her. And if they pick on her, I would separate. I have a bird with a broken wing and my drake chases her off. And he didn’t do it before she broke her wing. Hopefully yours are nice to her.

Thank you for all the replies! We only have 2 other girls who are super sweet to her. She was out with them today and they were all quacking with excitement! I think I'm going to let her free range for a couple hours when I can watch them and have her sleep in her own kennel. She was trying so hard to reach down to eat some grass she is eating and drinking a little more and I will definately keep up with the warm baths!
