Your videos are set to private. In the picture it looks like Wry neck to me which is not contagious
 
anyone? if this is indeed wry neck i need to treat but i just need some input i have everything to give her but want to make sure
 
Help!!!!!

One of my chicks is acting odd. She won't pick her head up when handled... Just rubs her head on my hand. Sometimes she rubs her head as she walks and topples over!!!
Can email a video if helpful!!
 
I did the poly vi sol without iron and captain pancake bounced back nicely... You can get at wapgreens or wapmart... Other experts here can tell you how much to give
 
One day on vitamins and she's looking at least 50% better!
