Thank you, I am giving the more severe one the vitamins via syringe every few hours, leaving a bowl available to her in between, she is not eating or drinking on her own yet.Your chickens with wry neck could benefit from the vitamins (B and E) along with selenium. Too bad you are having to pay more in Canada. I think levamisole is used there a lot for worms. SafeGuard is safer. Here is some info on wry neck (scroll down in the first link for vitamin dosages):

I feed a high quality feed from a local mill which includes some selenium (it says right on the tag) My layers get 17% layer pellets, non layers (chicks and the sick one) are getting 21% starter crumble (though the sick one isn't taking much of anything at the moment, I'm forcing fluids, and hoping for the best for her at this point. The second bird with possible wry neck is just barely noticeable, and seems to have improved, if she had it at all, maybe she was just trying to look at the world from a different perspective. The next few days is a wait and see, I guess, not much else I can do, besides what I'm doing.
