I have a group of eleven baby chicks, six are older than the other five by about two or three weeks. They all get along with the exception of one that gets picked on and has been separated to heal. My question is though, I found one of my older chicks with her head tilted sideways and I was worried. I told my grandparents and they said she would be fine. We watched her and she ran around in the yard fine all day, but when I put her up that night her head was tilted. Yesterday her head was tilted again. Today her head was upside down and she was very off balance because of it. As she ran around she straightened up a little but her head was still tilted, just not upside down. I put her up tonight alone with food and water and her head is upside down again. I'm very worried and would like to get her better. If you have any advice or suggestions please please tell me. If you may know what is wrong with her I would appreciate it. She doesn't seem sick, she is eating and drinking water and pecking around in the yard, and it doesn't seem to hurt her, she is just off balance.
 
I have done some research and this looks like it could be wry neck. Can anyone confirm this?
 
thank you. that is what my grandparents and i are thinking. we are going to treat her for it since it wont hurt her.
