Hey there,
I just hatched some Japanese Quails and they are all perfectly fine,
but the oldest quail has Wry Neck.
It doesn't seem that its bent neck hinders it from eating/drinking
(In fact it's the biggest chick :D) but I would prefer a quail without a crooked neck...
Its does tend to run around in circles sometimes, and I wondered if its neck will straighten
itself or do I need to get it vitamins?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Welcome to BYC! This is technically in the wrong section, next time you may want to post in either the "Emergencies/Disease/Injuries and Cures" section, or perhaps in "Other Backyard Poultry". Sorry to hear your quail is feeling under the weather though.
It sounds like a vitamin E problem and not an injury, so I would definitely begin treating as such.
Here are some thread and articles that may help.

Thanks all!
BYC is really a wealth of info.
I'll post it in the other section.
