Broken Neck?

That's way too much selenium! Do as @Wyorp Rock suggested.

I meant micrograms, I went ahead and stopped giving it to him and have been feeding him tuna with water to help him drink. His neck is still drooping, and he can't drink just water well, but he eats on his own.

If you make their feed sloppy then they hardly need any additional water and there is much less risk of them getting dehydrated when they are like this.

Ooh good idea!

Here is an update of the little guy doing better. He still puts his head down, but I'm wondering if that's not because he has gotten used to it. He left me a present on the floor I'm not happy about but the tuna in water is doing the trick and he now eats on his own, and I'll keep it up for a couple more weeks.

I'm not one to keep a bunch of one chicken type, but I find it helps make you appreciate each one. For the times I've had to watch a chicken die despite trying everything, this is a nice reminder not to give up. Thanks to everyone as this bird would have surely been dead otherwise.

He is a cutie and a ham. Thanks for the update.

So pleased he is making progress. What an astoundingly cute and precious chick! He certainly is all boy... and then some!
