I don't know, but the twisted neck makes me think of Marek's.

What is that ?

Try a search for Mareks and Cocci and see if the symptoms are similar.

Okay thanks

How are the babies doing today? Any improvement?

 

[adrii]

the rest are doing pretty good. Butbim still worried about the chick with the twisted like neck he now tucks it all the way under his feet and rolls around until he can get back up.

Give the "twisted neck" chick some vitiman E. It could help and can't possible make things worse.

How do i put in his drink or food ?

I haven't had this problem but iv'e read some posts on here about Wry Neck. Kinda sounds like what your chicken is doing. Try searching for Wry neck in the search box above. Hope this helps
