Wry neck duck edible?

[FourSuns]

We have a duck this year that has wry neck syndrome and as we approach processing time I'm wondering if it's ok to eat it? She's done well all summer but still shows signs of the syndrome.

Good question!

The main causes of wry neck shouldn't pose any danger to human consumption.

This made me realize I don't actually know the main causes of wry neck.

Wry neck is caused by Head injury or vitamin e deficiency don't think there would be any harm eating it

Other than a slightly crooked neck and walking with a limp the duck does just fine. She's going for processing with the rest. I'll ask there if they know any more about it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Some rabbits develop a condition that causes their heads to tilt to one side. This condition is also referred to as wry neck, or torticollis. Head tilt can be caused by a variety of factors. One of the most common causes of wry neck is inner ear disease caused by a parasitic or bacterial infection.
