Rye neck in new born duckling!! What do I need to do??

That’s awesome look forward to hearing how he’s doing after you get some PND into him oh and you can drop tiny amounts right into his bill too just don’t shoot it down the throat

Hi yes he drinks and eats really well all by himself now. I thought I would give the brace a go, it can't do any harm.

Very clever! Even if his neck doesn't straighten out I think he has a good chance of living a fairly normal life.

So I don't think he is getting any better if anything I think he is worse, though that could be because his bones are not as soft now. He drinks and eats by himself and can hold his head and neck straight sometimes but I think he may have vision issues as he seems to walk into things now and then. My question is do you think he still has a good quality of life or am I better putting him to sleep?

You know this is your call. Will the little one be able to live outside with the other ducks? manage to find food and water and shelter. Sometimes other senses take over and they can do fine. And always a chance of just watching and waiting to see if maybe it goes on it's own. Sometimes there are other things going on we can't see. So saying all of that Your the only one that can make that decision. Some would say cull others give the little on a chance. All up to you. I saw on here not long ago a member had a crested duckling who was hardly able to walk and it's hatch mate stayed right by it's side constantly even defended it from the adult ducks.
