I genuinely do not know what happened. Came outside to two roosters on top of one (6 month BCM) he cannot seem to hold his neck up and seems kinda lethargic. I have him in a box in a dark room and that’s all I can do right now. He was closing his eyes while I was holding him, otherwise he’s still breathing. I have selenium I know is used for wry neck. What can I do for him. This is an emergency thank u.
 
First step is to treat him for shock with some electrolytes and a little sugar water—Gatorade will work. Then wait for more experienced advice. I had a hen attacked by a raccoon that was trying to bite her head off and although I couldn’t see any physical injuries she was never quite the same. I was able to just leave her with the flock but this sounds like it might take some extra care. If you can get him eating and drinking a little while you wait for answers you are off to a good start.
