Yesterday evening I got two chicks at the feed store. I got a EE and a Silver Laced Wyandotte. When they grabbed the SLW chick all I noticed was that it was pretty tiny. Once I got it home I relized that it could hardly walk and it wouldn't eat or drink.
After I dipped it's break in water and mash she seemed to start walking easier and acting more alert. Making sure she ate all through the night. This morning she wasn't an any better and I also noticed that her head is very slightly tipped to one side and her beak is very slightly curved. So she might have wry neck. She can walk just not very well and she pecks at food a little. I have been feeding her a mix of sugar water, yogurt, molasses,egg yolk and vit. E.
Medicated chick starter also.
Her crop isn't very full at all and she sleeps all the time. Will post pics.
I think I'm doing all I can but maybe you guys have some more ideas?
Thanks.
