Treating Wry Neck In Crested Duckling *EDITED TITLE*

[jenniemig]

I wait for the poo to dry them shake it and scrape it into the yard before I put it in the washer. Then I do a rinse cycle with vinegar and bleach, then do a regular hot wash with extra rinse (using detergent for the wash cycle. )
I hope you get a new washer soon!

I think I'll try the towels, thanks for the tips. We have a rag shop around the corner that sells white shop towels by the pound, 10 pounds in a box for $5. That way I'll have enough to cycle them out. I think I am going to go back to the old fashioned top load washer. I have tried the front and top load energy efficient ones and they just don't last. I like the idea of being able to soak my laundry, and throw in a bit of bleach without damage.

Now that Qwackers is getting around almost normally I am thinking of removing the divider in the brooder that is separating Indie and Raj from Qwackers. They are able to see each other, but they can't snuggle and interact together.
Qwackers is 3 weeks old today, Indie and Raj will be 3 weeks on Friday. Indie (BEI) is just as big as Qwackers, Raj (KC) is smaller, but not by much. I will monitor them closely. Qwackers was nipping at their tail feathers when they got in her way during the last swim, so she is able to assert herself.

What do you guys think?

Can't hurt to try. I also think we need another video.

I will give it a try, it's easy to put the barrier back up. They'll be going for a swim tonight, I'll up load a video. I'm going to make the water a couple inches deeper so that they can do more swimming than walking. Hopefully Qwackers will take to the water a little better. Last few times she just kinda walks around and tries to bathe while the other two dart around and dive underwater.

I am noticing that they are more waterproof. They're not really wet anymore when I take them out of the tub.

Black East Indie, which I was told were smaller ducks, but I don't think that is going to be the case with mine. His/her parents were a gorgeous emerald green in the sunlight.

I'm not sure he had tons of ducks. It does look like she's gonna be a big duck. I'll try and get pics of them all standing together tonight.

Hi all, to make a long story short I am taking back a duckling with wry neck that my aunt was taking care of. The duckling is crested and she is about 7 weeks old. We are picking her up sometime this week. In a nutshell, can you all please tell me how jenniemig's duckling was treated?
