    2nd UPDATE: 2 of 4 chicks with wry neck, questions answerd and possible cause discovered

    So, I just thought y'all might be amused to find out: Dorothy, who I treated for this wry neck so long ago, is actually Stanley! Turns out, "she" was a rooster all along. Both birds are currently doing well. They're pretty awesome. I was reminded of this thread by a mention of wry neck today...

    2nd UPDATE: 2 of 4 chicks with wry neck, questions answerd and possible cause discovered

    So far, so good. I adjusted temps on feed & water for Dorothy and Blanche who were in quarantines. That seemed to help Dorothy's crop issue. I had the temps too cool and with everything else going on it was slowing her digestion down. I began treating them for ear infections with VetRX...

    2nd UPDATE: 2 of 4 chicks with wry neck, questions answerd and possible cause discovered

    haha! I think I searched/googled everything except "gunky ears". I see no visible gunk, though. (?) just very swollen. I thought there was, but on closer inspection, it's the hairs. I plan to try an antibiotic starting tomorrow. both birds are much more active the last 24 hours. Especially...

    2nd UPDATE: 2 of 4 chicks with wry neck, questions answerd and possible cause discovered

    Well I'll be darned! It's an EAR INFECTION! That explains everything. And now looking back, they were the only two I remebwr scratching their ears a lot. Way before the wry neck started. I dabbed a teeny tiny amount of warm Vet Rx on her swollen ear last night, now she's a totally different...

    2nd UPDATE: 2 of 4 chicks with wry neck, questions answerd and possible cause discovered

    Thanks Eggcessive! Blanche perked up for a minute but she's in bad shape now. Dorothy, isn't advanced as she is, but it's coming. I will have to get the polyvisol, since I don't the the trivysol is enough of the right things. How long do I give them the vitamins for? do I continue until they...

    2nd UPDATE: 2 of 4 chicks with wry neck, questions answerd and possible cause discovered

    I've googled and searched for treatment options and have seen many positive ones here on BYC. I am currently trying to get it rectified. Blanche, is in the worst shape because she started showing signs last night, but I thought she was trying to itch all the feathers coming in(faster than the...
