Hi one of our two week old chicks seems to be pretty consistently tilting her head towards her left shoulder. It's rather mild and she does seem to be able to move it in the other direction as well it almost seems like she defaults to tilting her head. I'll post pictures we have increased their nutridrench in the hopes that maybe that'll help but I'd love to know if there is anything else we can do to help her.

While trying to find some good pictures for an example I'm kind of realizing this doesn't seem to be a new thing with her it's just gotten more noticeable and less easy to dismiss as oh she's just looking up towards me or whatever
 
Vitamin 3 is the cure for wry neck. Had 2 chicks with it and they both recover well with the oil from a human vitamin e capsule. Selenium helps with vitamin absorption. Both ours the heads would flop around unable to control them properly and falling over. Could it be a slight muscular skeletal deformity? The general advice I have seen on here for muscular skeletal problems is vitamin b complex.
