My daughters 4 week old chick started twisting her neck into unnatural positions last night. After a lot of crying, worrying from my daughter, and some research here we found that she had Wry Neck or Crook Neck. I went to the store at about midnight and picked up some Poly Vi Sol and Vitamin E. I was able to get some if not most of both into her mouth with a syringe used to give infants their meds. I also put a couple drops in her water and isolated her from the other chicks as they started to pick on her. She doesn't move much if at all and when she does she pushes her head against the bottom the pen we have her in. She isn't eating and when I hold her and try to feed her she still wont eat. My question is can I blend some eggs, the chick starter crumble, and some water to feed her through a syringe? How much should I feed her? If it is blended into a liquid do I still need to give her grit? How many times a day should I do this? We are very new to this and need a little help. Any will be most appreciated.
