I have had great success treating Wry neck with Vit E, B Complex, and Fish Oil mixed into scrambled eggs. Poly Vi Sol did not give me the quick results on the ducklings like the Human grade supplements. I did have success last year with Poly Vi Sol in a Turkey Poult with Wry Neck. The wry neck on our farm in the ducklings seemed to be hereditary. It affected every male duck that hatched out of 2 related hens. Once I found the connection I removed those hens from the breeding flock and have had no more issues with the ducks. We hatched a couple hundred ducklings last year.

I figured out that jumbo eggs scramble vitiam e and nutri drench seems to be helping.... and the peas maybe ?? It's such a guessing game ... this is the second time her neck had gotten better but last time it only lasted a week...

Are you still doing the scrambled eggs and nutri drench?

Yes.... I think the difference was the one week I used jumbo eggs and when I went back to normal size eggs it got bad again? But always with nutri drench.... now that they are 5 weeks I started with unthawed frozen peas.... I hope her neck is good now because they are going to a new home on the 29th

 

[Miss Lydia]

I hope so too.

If it is wry neck it is a vitamin deficiency. I am not sure what nutri drench has in it. I keep the adult liquid and gel caps on hand as well as the poly vi sol for when I don't have time/energy to make a scramble. From what I have heard peas are unlikely to help however I still feed them to my flock. With out good research studies it is hard to know what really works. I'm always willing to try things that I know won't hurt but could possibly help. Hopefully she is on the mend.
