So here is the deal, I have a group of 6 chicks ages 1 month to 1 and 1/2 a month. Well about 2 nights ago my 3rd oldest chicks neck was turned down in a arch shape. Its eating and drinking fine but I was wondering if there is any way to cure it or if it will die.

My broody hen and chick are practically living in a mansion X3 my mom got a free elevated baby play pen for them to stay in. It works great because its plenty big and they cant kick the wood shavings out, it's also very easy to clean. The chicky seems go enjoy the room and mama bird has plenty...
