2 Month Old Orprington Born with Neck Curved To The Side - Now Curved Down

[blackhens]

I have a two month old orpington cockeral that was hatched with his neck curved to the side. He has been doing fine until a few days ago. Now his neck curves down between his legs at times. He never was able to lift his head and neck up like a normal chicken. What can I do about this situation? It seems to be the opposite of wry neck (which the head and neck points up and backwards). He eats and drinks; however he looses his balance. When the chicks were hatched I supplemented them with good vitamins, and they have always eaten good chick food.

Thank you

He should have been culled at hatch and still should be culled.

Sorry.

Thank you. He is culled not fair to him.

Sorry you had and him had to face that.

I believe you made the best decision even though it was difficult.
