Help ducklings with heads bent back

This morning I woke up and two of my ducklings had bent back necks

What are you feeding them? It could be wry neck or encephalomalacia, also called star gazing, or a vitamin deficiency of vitamin E or B1 thiamine. If you can start some B complex liquid injectable from a feed store and give it orally, plus human vitamin E 400 IU softgels daily that could help. Human B complex tablets can also be used in place of the liquid B complex. Do not get B12, but B or super B complex. @ miss Lydia do you have any thoughts?

Nutrient deficiency known as wry neck or star gazing.. what are you feeding? Do you have access to a vitamin E, B complex, TSC or other resources?

Symptoms are the same in chickens and ducks, in this instance.

I am feeding them medicated chick feed we might be able to get the vitamins

Get unmedicated chick feed or duck starter, ducks really shouldn't have medicated feed.

Yes, I would try to get a feed just for ducklings. They need extra niacin and some have higher protein.
