I agree with ^^ Try Nutri-Drench. It's an excellent vitamin supplement that is known to quickly absorb into the chicks' bloodstream. If you can find it in dropper form, that's great! Or if you have a dropper to use, that's fine too. After a 2 day journey from Texas to Hawaii, my stressed chicks needed a pick-me-up. I gave them each one drop by mouth, and put about 10 drops into their 1/2 pint waterer. Usually you're not supposed to give chicks a vitamin supplement on the first day. It's supposed to be fresh water for the first few days, then vitamin additives. Nutri-Drench really helped, and I recommend it to everyone! FYI, Nutri-Drench NEEDS to be shaken before you use it(the vitamins settle to the bottom of the bottle - you can't tell, because the bottle is not clear). At 5 days old, they still get a few drops in their waterer mid day(water gets changed 3 times a day).

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.
