Duckling with a crooked neck?

[Knighstar679]

I have a duckling that is holding his head tilted sideways almost all of the time. He can turn it but it always defaults to this turned state. He is on purina organic starter crumbles, b complex in water, and they even get mash with extra b mixed in.

I have included pictures

There is quite a bit of material in this thread, but it may help.

Sometimes the tendon in the neck gets twisted as they hatch. I've had to Cull because of that..
I fixed one but that was a fluke..

Thanks for the reply I will see if I can get him started on something tonight when I get home from work. He was one of my natural Hatcher’s so I was a little surprised to see an issue

Don't give up on the little one. It's amazing what a little TLC can do.

@Amiga gave some great threads to read.

I won’t give up on him. He is one of my favorites so far. I want to give them all the best chance.

What were you doing with the scissors and the duck in the pantry?

Haha hes cute i hope hes okay

He was on the kitchen table and we used the scissors to cut something up for the dogs. No scissors were used in the making of this photo but it was the only place to have him stand for a quick picture. Tho he was more off and running as soon as I put him down.

I started my little Wry on his Vitamins tonight. I am just not sure how much to give him. And if it is better to do a mix of them and nutri-drench. I am still adding more Vitamin B and electrolytes to the water at this point.
