HELP_I think my little chick may crooked neck??

[daniellenoel]

I think the last little chick who hatched (took over a day and i needed to help a little) well he seems to keep curling his neck a bit. and laying on one side. he peeps alot and tries to walk but seems a bit off balance.. usually to the left. . Although, he has improved a bit but still is tired and tends to rest on his left side? Any suggestions?
What does crooked neck look like?
What are the symptoms? Can I treat him with anything? Will he make it?
Thanks

I did a search on crooked neck here and got this:

I have no experience with this problem so will let you see what might seem to apply.

If ti is only a few hours old, it is possible it just needs more time to recover and will be OK on its own.

Good luck.

If it is crooked neck, then give it polyvisol, and vitamin E. Not at the same time. Make sure you give the polyvisol in his water and take a softgel of Vit. E and cut the end and squeeze it on his beak. Do it 2-3 times a day. Give him a few days to improve and separate meanwhile.
