Something wrong with chick please help

[Claire_]

This chick hatched 2 days ago and it was going good but I want to check on chicks and mama and saw this chick laying down on its back I picked it up and flipped it over and its now falling over, it still cheeps and doesn't exactly have low energy and it's legs seem to work maybe something up with its neck? What should I do

 

[Aunt Angus]

Oh dear. I'd take it from and warm it up ASAP. Try a heating pad or your own body heat. Then I'd try to get it to drink and maybe offer it a drop of Nutridrench or egg yolk - just put a drop on the side of its beak and let it drink it on its own. Sugar water might help perk it up, too.

Looks like it might be wry neck. @Eggcessive @casportpony how would you treat this?

Haven't seen much improvement but chick is cheeping a lot more don't know if that's a good sign

It's hard to say what's wrong. Chicks are fragile those first few days. I have been successful at bringing back a few chicks from the brink, but I've lost several. Egg yolk is good to feed, if they'll take it, and it needs to be given very frequently.

Is it eating/drinking anything?

Sometimes, there just isn't anything we can do. It's the worst part of chicken keeping.

I'm sorry... You really tried. It must have some sort of internal issues.
