So I have a polish chick that came with 3 others and it's not doing very well. I've noticed from week 2 that it has a slight tilted head but overall actively eating, drinking and foraging. I read that it could be a sign of wry neck but I believe it might be from a neck injury rather than vitamin deficiency. I did give it a boost of extra vitamins mixed with egg yolk and syringe fed it, I've also noticed that its always eating but its crop doesnt seem full when I go to check on them. I had to separate it from the others with another chick to keep it company. Still moving around however, I may be just over worrying but I did not expect this breed to have such a vulnerable skull.
