Help, chicks neck

[Kiki]

The issue is caused by a lack of Thiamine (B1 vitamin) vitamin E will help with the uptake of Thiamine, but what the chick really needs is Thiamine, which can be found in any electrolyte/vitamin mix formulated for chicks as well as NutriDrench.

No.
Vitamin E and selenium.

Scratch is really bad for birds. I only give it as a treat, because that’s what it is.

@Texas Kiki has given some good advice. Fingers crossed for your little chick!

I beg to differ. Read these.

This source explains causes and symptom of vitamin deficiencies in poultry. Vit E deficiency does not cause star gazing.

Stargazing and wry neck are two different things right?

Any thoughts on the Thiamine point I brought up?

PND isn’t going to fix the issue.

Yes, they are. This is NOT wry neck. This is Stargazing, a different condition that causes Ataxia of the neck muscles. That results in the chick pulling its head up while sitting back on its hocks.

Wry neck is a TILT in the neck of the bird. This is not a tilt. Exhibit A of wry neck, my duckling

It should. Did you read those sources I linked? Liquid B12 will do the same.

I hatched 18 of these same eggs in the spring none had any problems. Is there anything I can do for it until I get somewhere to get vitamins, something around the house I can use?

Most of the chicks I ever gave PND to died. Literally had what looked like seizers, and died. Some say vitamins like PND are bad for the chicks' hearts... I would have to agree.
