New Muscovy Duckling Stuck on One Side

[allanjensaft]

She's otherwise healthy, but seems curled in the embryo position on one side. Any tips?

She's about 8 hours out of the shell and kicking, squeaking as usual.

Hello, I've popped her in the brooder and propped her up between towels to encourage her to stay on her belly! Fingers crossed.

So, quick update - stacking her up inbetween the ridges in a towel seemed to do the trick. We're three days in now and she's stronger and healthier than her hatching twin!
