Chick not Walking

[Abriana]

Unfortunately I am not afraid to lose him I am afraid he will never die. =n=
It looks like some kind of brainular disorder

Poor baby he’d be a little handicapped if he survived but I think you should keep him.

We probably will. =m=
With the other five roosters.
Only we won't be able to breed this one.

He is sooo cute. If I lived closer to you I’d snatch him right off your hands.

I guess so. I'll have to get a video of him walking its kind of funny.

Weird thing. All its guts have moved South, it looks.

Have you tried vitamin E oil? This latest "posture" concerns me, although it certainly is adorable. The chick may be slipping into muscular torticollis.

Uh, that's stargazing, isn't it? Neck problems. I've had that before, unfortunately. Theres nothing wrong with its neck.
I get what you're trying to say, though. Something wrong with its muscles. I don't exactly have vitamin E lying around, either, and to be quite frank I don't think an oil is going to help. :/
Maybe I'm just being pessimistic but I don't think there's much I can do about it.
Thank you for trying to help, though. I still want to fix it, just... not hopeful.

I don't know. Every case I research about this problem shows that its common enough, but nobody seems to have an antidote.

Torticollis covers any balance or muscular oddity in week-old chicks. It's called wry neck but it's not limited to just the neck.

I read this article and was finding it pretty helpful until I read "well I've never had to treat this but I've read a lot about it" like yeah great. You're recommending this even though you don't know if it works? Sigh.

Still, what I noticed was that she said that medicated feed can mess with their vitamin Bi absorption. (What is Bi, anyway?) all we've ever fed was medicated feed from various companies, and like I mentioned earlier, we've had Tortillas-whatever before in the form of wry neck. I have to buy more feed tomorrow, so I'll try the non-medicated stuff if I can find it.
The lady also mentioned some herbs with vitamin B and also adding brewers yeast?
