Baby Chick with crooked neck

[lara simmons]

I recently had a baby chick hatched with its neck cranked so far down it kept rolling over forward. So this is how i fixed this little chick. I got a capsule of vitamin E and squeezed the liquid out so it could eat it, and it ate it right up. It was within 24 hours and the baby was back with its mama and is still doing great!!!

Hi! I was wondering what became of the chick that you treated? I have a 2 day old hatchling that wasn’t week from the beginning but today it’s worse. It’s neck is down so far now it is doing forward rolls. It’s tough to watch and the last thing I want is to leave it suffering. I started nutridrench yesterday and am trying to feed it by hand every 2-3 hours and that feeding consist of starter crumbles watered down with some added cooked egg yolk mixed in. I am using a dropper. I did a few drops out of a vitamin E capsule earlier today also. I want to give this baby a chance but hate seeing it struggling and not being able to fix it. Thanks!
