Crooked neck baby--what would you do?

[kycklingmamma]

it might need a little bit of extra viatmins.

Try to give it some vitamin B, by sprinkling som nutritional yeast or brewers yeast on the feed. Also give it some vitamin E, I gave our duckling 1 capsule vitamin E 4 times daily for a week, and it was corrected within a few days. I simply pierce a while in the capsule with a needle and then squirt the vitamin gel down the throat as best I could. I worked amazingy well.

Good Luck, Kycklingmamma

I have one like that. The lady at the feed store said it was born with a crooked neck, a closed eye, and she walks around jerking her head to the side so she can see. She is now laying and is the sweetest girl. The others only bother her when they want her out of the sand box, but they do that anyway to each other. Over time, she her neck straightened out, and her eye that was closed has a small slit and I think she can see a bit. She also has a crooked beak that is doing fine. She just takes longer to eat, and needed extra care to get going, but is fine now.

I talked to my DH and he said to just wait and see. I put vitamins in the water and will hope for the best.
