Hello
I’m new to hatching and I’ve had a crested duck hatch out with its brain out since this morning now it’s awake properly since this morning it can’t sit up unless help in place and it can’t stand or walk and when it tries it falls to either side onto its back and like shakes ?
can I help or is it best to get it euthanised by the vets

It’s drinking fine but it’s curling it’s head into it’s neck is this brain damage I’ve given brewers yeast -not that I will help but it might
 
Best to cull. This is a risk of breeding two ducks with the crested gene. If the breeder says they havnt had a problem before they have just been really lucky.

I have a kahki drake who has the crested gene who I’m may be rehoming, and I make sure to stress to anyone who’s been interested, that he is not for breeding purposes and not to incubate eggs that he might have fertilized, for this reason exactly
