Yesterday I posted a thread about a baby chick who had what I believed to be wry neck. She died 3 - 5 hours later. I then had another chick with the same symptoms, and this one we had enough time to research and try to help. We did (and still do not) have any grit, so we gave her a spinach smoothie to give her vitamin E. She also died a few hours later. I gave all of our other chickens some smoothie.
Today I got some vitamin supplements for them, as well as Vitamin E pills to dissolve and give them. I gave them each a small amount of the supplement.
We now have another one that is sick. Symptoms include:
Neck drooping and twisting back
Poor balance
Loud, erratic peeping
Inability to eat or drink, even when liquid is on beak.
It is coming on very fast, and most likely won't make it for many more hours.
A bit more information:
She is being brooded under a hen, who is very good, so it's most likely not that.
She is eating spout medicated chick starter.
I received them on the 5th of this month, from Murray McMurray Hatchery.
If you want more information, please ask.
Please please please help, I don't think she has very long.
