So sorry. I feel like I’m the problem child. So one of my silkies hatched. She had what looked like wry neck. Couldn’t stand up or lift neck and kept rolling like a top. I have been giving her vitamin e, eggs and spinach. Today she is still on her side I know it can take a little bit. But she is constantly crying. Now she has a clicking when she breathes. I really want her to survive am I doing anything wrong?
I need help again.

Several times a day gently massage the crop area gently with an upwards motion. It worked on my Silkies that had the clicking sound.
You aren't doing anything wrong. Vitamin E is the treatment for the contortions you describe this chick as having. However, well beyond your control are likely genetic issues that will be a huge challenge for this chick.
Increase the vitamin E, perhaps a sliver of selenium to better help absorb it, and Poultry Nutri-drench for a big mainline shot of nutrients.
Warm sugar water will elevate its glucose and give it an extra shot of energy that may put it over the hurdle.

Do you know what the clicking sound means?
Also if you are giving spinach, why? They are a little young for that. Did you give them chick grit?
No, I don't. It's like pop rocks when they breathe.
It happened to a couple of Silkies I bought from the hatchery, and maybe 3 other random birds I'd hatched out.If I didn't massage every couple hours then they died.

Hi. It’s cooked spinach. It’s rich in selenium and vitamin E
