My 6th and final egg hatched last night (yeyyy) but I had to assist a little as it was shrinkwrapped and clearly struggling. He had a swollen, leaky abdomen/belly button. It was about grape sized and has since (as far as I can tell) sorted itself out nicely.
The duckling has wryneck and can barely stand at all without collapsing on its back. He’s otherwise happy and chirpy, not lethargic or crying like he was last night (I gave him water and molasses this morning and he perked up straight away). Is there a way to treat this? I’ve been holding him so that he doesn’t keep falling over, and he’s been sleeping in my hand, but it’s like a compulsive movement that keeps waking him up and causing him to writhe about.
I’ve been giving him vitamin b complex with niacin from a little syringe and I’ve ordered brewers yeast from Amazon. Is there anything else that can help? Has anyone succeeded in making a brace or support so that he can be put down without flipping himself over?
