Duckling strains neck, losing balance

[Gaiatribute]

Baby duckling hatched today, 2 days "late," and contorting and straining neck backward and losing balance.

What's wrong with my duckling? Is he dying?

Should he be quarantined from the other healthy duckling born 2 days ago?

I wonder if it is "wry neck" please do a search for this to confirm! Also the answer is tiny amounts of selenium and vitamin B (?)...good idea to have some of this on hand regardless...might fix it right up....let us know what you find....I am not an expert but there are many here who are, and I am just trying to give you an idea of a direction to check...

He's still with us...the wry neck wud be my guess too at this point.
