I cured a 3 week old chick with really bad crook neck (thanks to internet). Most people said to go ahead and kill it, nothing you can do. Then I read one advising to get a vitamin E liquid capsule, cut the end off and feed it to her. Words of warning: I think it's best to keep dipping her beak in the capsule until she has most of it eaten. When I got it on her beak, she would get it down. At first, I opened her beak and squished it into her mouth and that's when I had to find out about "tail bobbing" which means that I aspirated her. With all my bumbling (I'm new at this) Izzie survived into a pretty cream colored hen. Hope this help.
