PLEASE HELP! Young chick can't stand or walk without help!

Thank you for replying. I thought wry neck was crooked neck? His neck isn't crooked at all, however when he eats & drinks he does this funny little thing with his head sometimes, but I just thought it was because of the position I would get him in to eat & drink & he thought he had just developed that habit...thinking that's what he is supposed to do to eat & drink.

As for poly vi sol, I've been giving it to him & even vitamins for birds. I wasn't sure how much to give...I've seen from a drop or two on their beak to a drop or two in their water to 1/2 a dropperful, etc. I didn't want to give too much, but wanted to give enough to be effective.

I switch up between poly vi sol (given directly on beak) to the bird vitamins in water (which I use some of to make a mash of his starter). I've also been giving a little crushed up B complex in his food sometimes & about every other day or so a little bit of Vitamin E on his beak. I've also been giving him egg yolk & yogurt. He eats heartily. I just can't leave water in with him because I'm afraid he will drown.
I'd like to know whatever happened to him because I just recently went through the same thing my chick died. I think I did several things wrong. One of the things I wish I would've done was vitamin B2. I heard that's essential for nerves but I too agree that there was some kind of neurological problem. Mine couldn't stand at all. I wanted to, but couldn't at all. I'm blaming myself for everything. He got sticky stuff from the vitamin E on him and I didn't get it all off I tried and then when I did hold his beak open to take drink he got more hydrated. I think I gave him too much and Water login. I just keep beating myself up about different things. I wish I had found this forum before.
