Wry tail or scoliosis?

This duckling had a super bad hatch in which we thought he wouldn’t survive but with some extra niacin and electrolytes he survived. They are pekin x khaki campbells. He is super crooked! Do you think it’s wry tail or scoliosis? I can get some better pictures tomorrow however I am just worried for his future. I saved the eggs as the neighbors ducks laid them in our flowerbeds and got eaten by a predator. So once they are a little older I will introduce them back to the neighbors pond with their family. I just wonder if I should find a rescue for him.

Nice to see the ducklings enjoying peas!! I have never heard of wry tail and have no experience of scoliosis in ducklings. The little fluffie may have a hatching injury or a congential problem. I suspect there is nothign to be done. But if you have access to an avian vet, it would be best to get informed advice!
