My chic has nervous tic

[Budie97]

My new chic was born with a tic, she is about a week old and from day one has been having a issue with her head swaying back and forth.
She eats and drinks but her head just sways back and forth

sounds like wry neck maybe. you can start there anyway. selenium and vitamin E I believe is the treatment for that.

We have been giving her vitamin E hopefully she will survive.
Thank you

the selenium is important in the recovery too and it wont happen over night. Sometimes it could be a month or more. It depends on the severity . and you are more then welcome.

I would use a multivitamin for poultry, something like Poultry Cell or NutriDrench that has thiamine, vitamin E, and selenium, the 3 needed for wry neck treatment. Many do not realize that thiamine (B1) deficiency can also be a cause of wry neck in chicks (encephalomalacia.)
