As far as I know you can use watered down Gatorade for electrolytes, right?

Yes you can. But I think temporarily you can use a small amount full strength. Also plain pedialyte or just water with a little bit of sugar like a teaspoon to a cup of water and a dash of salt.

Is there a “feed store”or farmer supply store near you?

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.

Thank you this info is very helpful

I bought some on eBay. Amazon carries it as well if I remember correctly... It might not get there in time though.
