Hello there,
I am looking for some help/advice please
About two weeks ago I bought 6 adorable Call Duck ducklings. They are all doing great, but our favourite appears to have a significant kink in its neck that seems to have happened overnight and I'm desperate to know if there is anything i can do.
Now I want to be honest so that I can get the best info/advice, but i have an awful suspiscion this is my fault. I was cradling the duckling in its cage when it lept out and I automatically grabbed it.....i caught it by its head between my fingers, with its body dangling....its seemed fine (although I was mortified) and indeed is still very happy in itself, bathing, cleaning and eating. But i can see and feel the bend. Ive attached a photo too (although not the best). The duckling is the one on the right
Did i do this? Or is this linked to vitamin deficiencies that i have read about and will get worse?
Please help. The idea I hurt this little dude is really upsetting me!
I will say this particular duckling has always been a little odd - the most docile to handle and i am forever cleaning his beak
Thanks
Laura
