Need help asap :( chick hatched with wry neck

[FowlWitch]

I think this chick hatched from an elongated egg that I had set. I was told the elongation shouldn't be an issue and I may only need to assist hatching, but it seems it was more of an issue for this baby than I expected. How do I help it? Is there a way to treat the wry neck?

I’m so sorry, I had two born with huge difficulties. It’s so sad to see. I’m sorry I can’t help you but will be watching for answers as one of my eggs looks elongated!

If anything it may help alleviate guilt as it looks like it’s not a hatching condition!

I just read that one, actually, thank you. I need to find a way to feed it cinnamon and cayanne pepper (since that's what I have on hand. I also have Rosemary and roses growing the garden that I can make tea with. Now, considering the chick just hatched, I'm thinking it won't eat immediately. For now I have the baby wrapped up in a sock in the incubator because I didn't know what else to do with him :/

It doesn’t need to eat or drink for 3 days after hatching as lives of the yolk. Before we realised it was more cruel than kind I did give our wee ones Vits from a little dropper. We were not sure if intensive physio would work but also knew that wouldn’t work for us.

I made her Chick Soup with some plain Greek yogurt as a base (to hold all the spices together), water, olive oil, cayanne pepper, cinnamon, fill weed, Rosemary, basil, cumin, and cloves. It smells awful but she drank a tiny bit from a dropper. I also immobilized her neck with a sad little neck brace made of paper towel and a bandaid, then wrapped her back up in a sock and replaced her in the brooder. I'll have to keep an eye on her

Just want to send you a hug. It still feels raw for me and I know I may be facing this again soon. Incubating is not for the faint hearted!!!

I wasnt happy with her initial set up, so I wrapped her in a foam thing for cabinets and have her propped with her head level with gravity. I'm hoping maybe this position will help reset her inner ear? I'm not sure if this will work

So she wriggled her way out of the little foam tube while I was asleep. I gave her a little water and more soup and put her back into her tube because she kept flipping onto her back and I don't want her to aspirate.

My mom is going to pick up a vitamin e supplement tonight. Idk what mg yet, but I still have some questions in the interim.

How often to I need to feed and water her with a dropper?

How long does she need to take the vitamin e supplement?

How long until I start seeing results? How long do I wait to cull if the vitamin e doesn't help?
