Need help asap :( chick hatched with wry neck

Good news! The chick was standing on his own feet when I got home from work :) his neck has started to straighten out, too! I'm not sure if my concoction or the tube helped, but I think this baby can recover!

On a side note, my chicks were wet in their brooder?? But their water hasn't been spilled, so I'm not sure what happened. They're all still alive, thankfully, so I'm drying them off. Weird, right? I wonder how they all got wet
Cute baby!
I'm glad she is doing better. In your latest video she still has a head tilt so I would give either the Poultry Nutri-Drench 2 times a day for a week or if you got the Vitamin E, I would give that. Watch to see that she's eating and drinking really good.

Interesting that they were wet, is your brooder plastic? Is it sweating by chance?

I thought they couldn't sweat, but the brooder is plastic. The temperature was 95F, so I hope they weren't too hot.

Here she is today btw :) I only have vitamin e until my order arrives, but it seems to be working for her.

95 degrees is way too hot!! Honestly, if inside your house isn't that cold.... they will be fine just provide a little additional heat and make sure they can escape from it if they feel the need to cool off. Don't overdo it with the heat and risk frying your chicks!

That's not what Google says. Also, it isn't an ambient 95. The ambient temperature is 79F and the hot spot is currently 94.3F

No I'm not talking about the chicks sweating, I'm talking about your plastic tote brooder sweating.

95F is too hot especially for in the house that is 79F. What are you using, a heat lamp? Raise the heat lamp, aim for your warm spot to be around 90F or a little less.

Ahh okay I'll go ahead and adjust it. The sources I was finding said 95F, but maybe they were wrong. Also, the brooder is open top and pretty shallow with a ceiling fan over head, so I didn't think it was too humid. I'll readjust things
