Baby chick with wry neck

[Cabrewster]

My 3 week old baby chick has wry neck, at first it was eat and drinking just fine but now it's neck is turned so much that I have to hold it to help it eat and drink. I bought some liquid b12 to put in the water and I'm giving vitamin e capsules but still isn't getting better. She wants to eat consistently and I can't sit there all day feeding her.

Welcome To BYC

Can you post photos of her and her poop?

How long has she had the Symptom Wry Neck?
What do you feed?

I'd make sure to get 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex (Not B12) into her daily. Give a bit of egg to help with the uptake of E.

If you are unable to get the water and nutrients into her that is necessary for her recovery, then you may want to consider culling her.



Examples of the vitamins you want.

She is now 7 weeks old, I've been giving her Vitamin E and b1 with egg and there has been no change. I have to hold her head to help her eat and drink could it be something other than Wry neck?

Sorry to hear she's not improving.

It can take weeks for symptoms to resolve. Hard to know if something else is causing symptoms or not, could be genetic or developmental.

Ok good! The way people talk, after they give supplements they see a difference in a few days. My daughter adopted her after she hatched in an incubator at school so she is very special to us. I do know that some of the egg was still attached to the chicken when she hatched. She is gaining weight and getting big so eating is definitely not an issue when she is fed lol.
