duckling with crooked neck

[jancvit]

Hatched 5 ducklings on May 8 their mother was killed, so I put the eggs in an incubator.....one has a very crooked neck. I have been giving it poly-vi-sol vitamin drops since May 11 and also vitamin E. I try to hold its neck straight, but it always goes back to its side. It can eat and drink but cannot swim. would i be able to make a brace or splint to help it hold its head up????? Please help!

Awwwwwwwwww, how is your duckling? Did the crooked neck ever straighten out?

your best bet is to go on line and type that in and see what you come up with, let me know how things go for you and your duckling.
