Normal neck or...?

[Wobbles]

Yesterday I picked up seven Ancona ducklings. I am keeping four and three go to a friend once they are big enough to be outside.

I'm trying to pick my keepers and yesterday I thought one had an odd looking neck...now today I am not sure.

I want un-biased opinions because I'm not sure if I am not see it now because I really want to keep that one or if it is actually normal.

The duck in question is the light yellow one (she has silver or lavender on her but hard to see).



In this photo she is in the very back



very front

Anybody?

I can see what you are talking about - it's a little rounded? I would say to just watch her behavior. Is she eating/swimming/peeping as much as the others? If there is something wrong with her neck, I'm sure you will know in the coming weeks as she gets bigger. I would just decide which of you has more time/patience for a special needs duck. Chances are - it will be fine!

Is there any swelling?

No swelling that I can tell. Since she has been here I have been giving her vitamins and now I cannot see anything wrong with her neck. But I just don't know if that is because I don't want to see anything wrong with it lol.

I can try to get new photos today so you guys can help me decide if I am crazy or what

Oops. and yes she acts normal. Eats good, drinks good. Swims fine (not big on swimming yet but she does fine in the water) etc.
