Hatchlings head is funny

[Cjturner]

Hi guys.this little ducky was born maybe half an hour or so ago. His neck was fine when he hatched and snuggling woth his sibling but now seems to be holding it like this. Should I worry or am I crazy.

Looks like he has wry neck. It will not fix on its own so you will have to help. I can not remember how to fix it, but I believe it involve fashioning a neck brace to keep his head from leaning to the side. I'll try to find some articles or old threads for you. If it does not get fixed, he won't be able to eat or drink on his own and probably won't be able to walk either.

Please wait for him to finish drying off and unfolding.

Wry neck treatment does NOT involve a brace. It is a vitamin deficiency.
That baby is to new out of the egg to diagnose as wry neck in my opinion.

it's possibly wry neck, it's fixable with some vitamins B1 and E it may take a few weeks to improve.
Or it could be from being wrapped upper in an egg for 4 weeks.
Edited, phone is too smart for it's own good.
