New to raising chickens

[Alewis8286]

I was looking for help for 1 of our chicks. Something happened to her neck yesterday and it looks dislocated but it doesn't feel broken. I went to Google to see of I can find any help for her. She has slowed down a little, but not much. We were trying to keep her comfortable in her coop and she made her way out to be with her sisters. She seems to be doing ok, but we are still worried for her. We don't know how to help.

She may have a nutritional imbalance or it could be the result of a blow to the head. Search for "wry neck." on BYC

Sorry to hear your girl has you concerned. In case you haven't found it yet, here's a link to take you to the ER forum:

Hope she's ok!

Hi! Welcome to BYC! I sure hope your chick will be okay. I don't think it could Hurt to give her vitamin B supplements, but do look it up in the ER section. There are a lot of good discussions about illnesses and injuries there.

Now there are 2 so we think it may be something else. Both are indoors for the night and receiving lots of TLC and electrolytes. I am going to tractor supply in the morning for nutri drench and also have some on order from prime and I'm headed to Walmart for vitamin e capsules and POV il sol. Thank you everyone for the tips! I've been mia all day to tend to my sicklings.
