Chick head problem

[Danny C.]

This 2 week old today chick only noticed this morning that it keeps its head down. Can move around and eat, drink but think got hurt somehow. Seems obvious head or neck injury. Is it possible to survive or need to put out of its misery?

I would start by getting some full strength Poultry Nutri Drench, some Vitamin E and Selenium into her. After a couple of days of this, if no improvement, then cull her.

Agree with nutridrench, but if she can eat and drink, I see no reason to cull.

I’m just a starter, don’t know much about Nutridrench. Guess get at feed and seed store? They are on very fine ground gamebird starter 24% now.

Yes, or TSC maybe. 4 or 6 oz. bottle with a dropper lid. Add to water and I've given a drop directly to chicks then dipped their beak in water, but if yours is actively drinking that' prolly not necessary.
