Help! So first time my duck has hatched eggs. The first duckling hatched and is pushed off to the side of the nest and his neck is twisted. Momma doesn't seem I terested in the baby.. Do I remove the baby or leave it upon Momma duck to take care of him? She has other eggs hatching that she is sitting on
 
It sounds like he might have a deformity with the twisted neck. Pics? She could be rejecting him for that reason. If so, it would be best to remove it from the nest.
 
Not the best picture but she hisses and pecks at me when I get close

He is doing great this morning, I put him back in with Momma once he started walking around, drinking and pooping
