    Update on my baby chick

    Unfortunately some chicks can be born with bone deformities, and there usually is no treatment. Sometimes they can make it with some extra care as long as they can get around to eat and drink.

    Update on my baby chick

    Is there anything else I can give her to help? I’ve already been giving her treatments for wry neck.

    Update on my baby chick

    What does that lump feel like? Can you tell if that's her crop or an air sac? General treatment for Wry Neck is to give 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4tablet B-Complex daily along with a small amount of egg for the uptake of E.

    My 3 week old is using her head like a kickstand. Eyes closed, not moving. Please help

    Is her head stuck down or crooked, or is her neck limp? Can you hold her neck up? I would try to get her drinking some fluids or electrolytes. Chicks who have a twisted neck up, down, or to the side have wry neck (torticolis,) which as a neurological symptom. It can be caused by a vitamin E or...

    Sorry to hear about your chick. There is absolutely treatment for wry neck worth trying, once treatment is started you will need to be patient bc it takes time. For reference, I recently treated a wild bird for wry neck and it took about 6 weeks for it to fully recover. You may start to see...

    Baby duck with crooked head

    This could be a soft tissue injury in the neck, but I think this is likely to be early stages of wry neck, also known as star gazing. The condition can be brought on by nutritional deficiencies and trauma to the neck, sometimes even if you do everything right, this condition still might occur...

    Chick backing up after drinking.

    So sorry. I had a wry necked hen that didn’t respond to treatment. She had a strong will to live and made it almost to two years but was always chased away and picked on. I don’t know if I did the right thing. Ultimately a hawk took her partly because she was more afraid of her own flock. Not...

    Chicken with Wry Neck treatment question

    Glad to hear she's improving. If you are using Vitamin E/Selenium Gel, then you may want to switch up to just giving 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4tablet B-Complex along with a small amount of egg for the uptake of E. I'm not sure a pea size dose will get you to 400UI and likely she's getting too...

    Hen's crop slow to move solids, probably not GI impaction? (Stable for now)

    Hello friends, I'm having some trouble with my girl Creamsicle. I've been working on her for a couple of weeks, reaching the end of my "troubleshooting" list and I'm at a loss. She has improved and is stable, but I'm starting to worry she won't survive if I discontinue aggressive interventions...

    Wry Neck won't go away

    I'm not that experienced at chicken raising. I only have a small flock of a dozen chickens. I have a 2 year old white Leghorn that one day I noticed walking in circles. I also notice other hens starting to pick on her. So I separated her in to a large crate in my garage and did research to...

    Unidentified issues

    ...something else. It's also possible to lose more than one bird in succession and have it be coincidence. It can happen. For wry neck treatment, you are better off using a straight vitamin E supplement, you need the higher level to get it reversed, if that's what it's caused by. You can...
