Help me! New with ducklings! Wry Neck??

[happy duck]

I know B's are important, but I was hoping someone could post a source that says a Niacin deficiency could cause wry neck.

Could cause wry neck....ohhhh let me look.

I meant to say can be better then b-complex and I don't see anything about it.

The one poster said that wry neck was due to a niacin deficiency.

I think a good b complex is the way to go.

Wry neck isn’t what it sounds like. It is a niacin deficiency. Wry neck can be genetics to a head injury. Get some Vitamin B tablets at tractor supply or Walmart. Pour it into their water and a couple of days they will be fine. Good luck!

Yes, I do it all of the time.

So how many times a day should i give this to her? And for how long should i continue to give it to her?

I have a baby with this condition that we hatched in my daughter's classroom. I give the vitamins twice a day on the food. Also I put a little string toy hanging on the edge of the tub. The duckling seems to enjoy pecking at it and get some good neck exercise. The relief has not been instant as some people have said but it has been slowly and steadily improving.
