hi, one of my ducklings has wry neck or twisted neck. I read here on this site that medicated chick starter is not good becuase it contains too much medication and not enough niacin for ducks. My uneducated feed store guy does not carry non medicated gamebird starter, so we have been feeding med chick starter.
Noticed this past week one duckling was not growing like the others (pekin duck), and last night its neck was twisted into an s shape. Mom mixed the vitamins and electroiltes at 1/2 tsp to 1 gal and separated that duck and fed only that one the v e water. Today she is worse. her neck is almost twisting around to her back.
If i get the liquid baby viatmins do I still need to get some sort of additional vitamin b5? What dose of vitamins drops for a duck to recover from this? It looks pretty severe as the duck is having trouble with cordination and walking straight. should i just put her down? oh, she also seems to have cold as her voice is funny. she is about 2 to 3 weeks old
