!!HELP!!

[becca72]

My eggs that I've been incubating just hatched and one of the ducklings neck is all twisted. It took it a lot longer to hatch than the other ones, too. Is there anything I can do for it, or do I just wait it out?

Hi and welcome to BYC. I'd suggest posting your question on the duck forum - https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks

Good luck

By neck is twisted, do you mean it keeps its head on its back? Like doing a cart wheel?

It may correct itself over the next couple of days, may have been too crowded in the shell or in an awkward position. A photo would be very helpful, so we could access the extent of it's problem.

Sorry, I know nothing about Ducks but the folks on the Forum Ken gave you a link to should be able to help. I do hope that your little one is OK.

I also hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

Good news! When I checked the duckling this morning, it's neck is fine! I guess it must've been still in egg mode. Thanks for all your help!
