    EMERGENCY - CHICK BRAIN OUTSIDE OF HEAD??? PLEASE HELP!!

    I still don't really know what to do... he seems so happy and normal besides the lump on the head... I've seen him eat and drink so I know he at least has that going for him... I think I'll give it a day or two to see if anything changes before I make any kind of decisions...

    Any every day household items to use for wry neck healing?

    If she's not moving much, it may be something more than wry neck... make sure to keep her away from any other chicks you have and wash your hands before and after handling her... Good luck!!

    Young chicks dying and 2 quail have cysts

    Wow - I feel for you. This is horrible... Are they in a heated area? Chicks need to stay warm until they're quite a bit older... maybe they're too cold?? If so, that would explain the sudden death... as far as the odd defects - maybe they're getting into something they should be? Or are there...

    EMERGENCY - CHICK BRAIN OUTSIDE OF HEAD??? PLEASE HELP!!

    That's my biggest fear... currently he's in his own little container... happy as a clam too... ugh. Any ideas on what would have caused it? Searching on the site, the ones I've found with this issue have all been Cochin's and that's what this one is as well... I would think maybe something...

    No I've given mine vinegar at about a month. I'm not sure it will help with wry neck though... you really need vitamins for that... Make sure you dilute the ACV with water. If you have a gallon water container try about 1-2 tablespoons.

    How old is the chick? With the chicks I've had that have had the wry neck problem, it's usually a vitamin deficiency. We buy the save-a-chick stuff at Tractor Supply... it's about $3 for a 3 pack and is mixed in with their water. That will help a lot... Also, try breaking vitamin E gel...

    HELP PLEASE! 2 sick chicks!!

    My chicks are on starter feed that we purchase from a reputable feed store... their feed containers are changed daily so I don't think it's an issue with their food... the water is in the plastic chick feeders and is also changed regularly (sometimes twice a day if they get a lot of bedding in...

    I have a chicken doing almost the same thing... I can't figure out if it's wry neck or New Castle disease (my husband thinks it's NC I think it's wry neck) Hopefully if someone answers your post, I'll have an answer as well... good luck!!

    HELP PLEASE! 2 sick chicks!!

    Please help!! I have 2 chicks (1 is about 2 weeks old and one is about 4 weeks) that are suddenly tucking their heads down almost under their chest constantly. I've done some research and I can't figure out if it's wry neck or something worse... my husband thinks it's New Castle disease... I'm...
