Neck problems in a duckling

[Yorkshire Coop]

How is your duckling today?

Much better! It is still weaker than the others but I think its going to pull through. Yay!

In the past the one's I call "crinkle necks" generally don't live past a few weeks old. But this muscovy, now named Quasimoto, is almost 3 months old (he's about 7- weeks in this pic). His neck is permanently in a crooked position, but eats, drinks, and acts like a normal duck otherwise

Here he is today

Amazing! Is he thriving? I hope so, what a character. Did you try any vitamin treatment on him when younger?

Oh wow! My little guy doesnt look like that. His has straightened out (thankfully). He is still just a little weak on his legs. He does a lot of belly crawling.

He is thriving! It's amazing! I have him and one of this clutch mates together with my call ducks (until he gets a little bigger as my adult muscovy drakes are easily 4 times the size of him right now). He doesn't even know hes different!

All I used was poultry drench (can't for the life of me remember the name right now, lol) in his water for the first 6 weeks

What a trooper! I wish him a long, happy life!!!

Maybe it was Nutridrench Poultry?

Could be.. I'm going to have to go look now!
