Hey all, ive got a chick who hatched out of its shell with wrye neck.
Its constantly laying on its back and the neck is severely twisted to the side if it does stand it topples straight back over.
Ive given it some drops of rooster booster and will hand feed if I can.
Is there more I should be doing?
Should I make a neck brace and wrap it in a towel so its atleast positioned properly and not stuck on its back?
This is pic was whilst in incubator fluffing up but now she can only lie on her back.

I want to say dab some vitamin e oil on its beak. And yeah, do whatever you need to do to get it to lay on it:s stomach. I've seen people use cut off bottoms of cereal boxes to create a channel for a bird to be stuck in. Your's is probably small enough that would still be too wide for him but you can do something like that.

And tape a neck brace.
