They are all 2 weeks. She is not able to eat or drink on her own. In fact, today we hadf a dehydration scare. I don't know what to feed her! She may have gotten pecked on the head. She has a high vaulted skull, which may have been why she was affected so severely. She is not seperated from the other chicks. She is in the brooder box, but in her own little clear bin so she could hear them and still get the heat from the heat lamp. So she is with them, just isolated.
Poor baby... i have made sort of chick starter soup
I figure if they get even a bit it works maybe some pedialyte? Also make sure it isnt getting too much heat and can get away from the heat lamp . Im sure you are already dong this but always want to mention it. Hopefully somehave more ideas. I havent had too many with wry neck but all have got through it....
We just had this same exact issue, my friend's also has an extremely vaulted scull. We gave Poly-vi sol WITHOUT iron (very important!) 2-3 drops 4 times a day, also hand fed regular chick crumbles mashed in water to prevent dehydration and starvation, and added an egg yolk every few days. It took up to 2 weeks for hers to fully recover.
Awwwww! The cutest ever.
Hydration is the most important thing. I use a straw with my finger on one end to hold the water in and put her beak inside the straw. They usually drink on their own that way instead of trying to shove something down their throat. I mix molasses and chick saver in the water. Even with their head on the ground they soon try to eat on their own so keep easy food accessible. They make amazing recoveries from this. Don't give up.
Just too cute!!
