Help/please look at chicks picture

Ok to get full story go to https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=312066

Now I have one chick with the neck problem, I lost 4 so far, soon to be 7. But the others are cornish x, which I kind of figured they wouldn't be easy. (first time with those)
The one with the neck is an EE I think it is either nerves or something with her neck because it feels longer then normal. Here are some pictures of what she does.

after that she is on her back or side.

TIA

Please someone give me an idea what I should do. I looked at wry neck, her neck is not going to the side, it is going backwards. I don't want her to suffer, but if I can do something, I would rather try.

Try vitamin drops without iron. That is all I know but you can find that in the infant section.

I would not put her down. has she been eating and drinking fine , did thid come on suddenly?
also how are there poops?

Try putting vitamins and electrolytes in their water. It looks like a vitamin deficiency of some sort. You may have to physically help it drink and eat properly until it improves.

Sounds crazy, but I used duck tape around one of my quails neck. Left it on for about a week and he was fine. You will have to work with the width to see what width is going to work.

No she won't eat or drink, I am putting fluid on her to make her drink.

So far she has been in my shirt all day, no poop

She was fine last night, Picked her up yesterday at the post office seemed ok. Then this morning I saw it.

Nothing sound crazy to me, I was told to cull a bird for a broken leg, I get her better and she is fine today. I figured out where it was broken and made my own cast for her.

My only question is, how tight and wouldn't it hurt her to get it off, or did you cut the feathers/fuzz off first?

And just to add, she is a fighter, so I am not gonna give up one her, she is trying so hard to keep that head up.
