I just recently hatched my first eggs and one chick came out with one eye and he wont walk on his right leg. I can push on it when holding him and he pushes back a little however he wont walk on it. He walks around and eats and drinks but its more of a hop and fall kind of thing. What can I do...

No lol there's nothing there she's just a little funny lookin. Her jaw is moving just fine and is sqwakin happily and is eating a drinking just fine now
Well here she is! I've taken the suggestion of vitamins and I've also been gently taking her beak and bringing it up which seemed to help because the more I helped her stretch the more she was able toto move her neck. She has full range of motion and is back to her normal goofy self. Seems to...
So here he is guys. I have a fedling he's got easter egger in him and barred rock. Probably a chick from the two chickens they had at the store for breeding.
My mother contacted a good friend whose raised chickens for forever and he confirmed she has wry neck. She's eating and drinking but he says she's most likely not going to pull through. Thank you for all of your help guys and I'll keep everything updated

They haven't laid any eggs yet and I have one easter egger, her, and one rooster. That's it. Was wondering when they'd atart laying though but they're just now getting through molting
I always have water right by the coop part where they sleep, which is where she is every time I check on her, I haven't seen her down with the other chickens like she always is with.
Yes I put some vitamin water right beside her and I'll put some food near as well. She's about 8 months old I believe and yes her beak drops open when I hold her but she keeps it closed when I put her down but her neck still sticks out regardless! I'll post photos when I get home. :)
Her comb is a little grey and I'll check her throat when I get home. I gave her some electrolyte water and the coop is at a good 75°. I'll post some pictures of her as well and she can close her beak when I set her down but whenever I pick her up it just drops open.
I put her into the coop right under the heating lamp with the other chickens. She waddled over to them and cuddled up with my other hen. She won't leave that part of the coop though where the heat is the greatest. Won't even go down to eat is what I'm seeing
So I had gone out for a bit and my mother forgot to count the chickens before locking them into their coop. She left out a hen of mine and when I found her she was frozen and had foam in her beak and when I picked her up she just would not close it. Her neck is sticking out too and it won't...
