I have a wry neck duckling a couple days old, like 4-6 ish, and I have fed it boiled eggs because it has selenium, but it doesn't seem to work. The duckling's neck and head is curved downward to the ground and sometimes to its belly, and its head scrapes the ground.
Every website online says to feed wry neck ducklings vitamins or selenium, but I don't have vitamins, so is like foods that contain those vitamins able to cure the duckling?
Also, whenever I try to make a neck cast for the duckling and put it on so it can breathe, the duckling's neck is still jutted straight out, and I'm afraid it's gonna choke or have difficulty eating.
The duckling eats by pecking food off the ground, how do I make a neck cast so it holds the duckling's neck straight up, and can I feed it foods with vitamins to cure the neck?
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow

So sorry your duckling is struggling. :hugs He definitely needs certain vitamins to help him strengthen his neck. I see you found our Emergency and Ducks forums. Good luck with the little one! :hugs
