Don't move the lamp away!

I'm certainly not an expert, but if you can find this near you I would try this. I've heard some good things about it. If your chick isn't eating or drinking very much at all I would certainly try this.

If anyone thinks this would be a bad idea, please let me know...

Looks like it's what you've been giving but has measurements if you need them

Is wry neck the diagnosis we are working with here or no?

I missed a few pages.

#1. The chick is cold and needs warmth. Without it he will die.

Set up the heat source so that half the box or whatever you have him in is nice and warm and the other half isn’t. Put him in the warm side.

You need vitamin E and selenium for treating wry neck. So you’ll need to go to the store ASAP.

You can get vitamin E in gel cap form at any pharmacy, grocery store, or Walmart that has a vitamin section.
In the vitamin section there is a small selection of liquid infant vitamins. The most common brand name is poly visol. Get the one that doesn’t contain iron.
It’s a pretty good replacement for nutridrench.


For the vitamin E: Just snip the little gel cap and drip the oil onto his beak a drop at a time. Let it roll into his mouth. He’ll swallow it.

Selenium too is available in this aisle. Not every store carries it. You only need a sliver of a tablet of this. If you can’t get it:

Make a scrambled egg soft and see if you can get him to eat some. It has selenium in it.
