Fix the wry neck, since wry neck is usually a vitamin deficiency. Vitamins E and selenium also help

Sugar water won't do the same thing unfortunately. It's the vitamins in the molasses that helps with wry neck

Wry neck can be very common in baby chicks. Most people give human vitamin E 400 IU (puncture the softgel) along with 1/4 tablet crushed in a spoonful of water of human B complex (for extra thiamine) to chickens with wry neck. Give those orally in a bit of food, egg, or with a syringe. Take the chick aside and feed and water it often. Watch to see that it is not being pecked or bullied, or separate it.

What ended up happening?

She survive the night in her brooder coop with her 4 siblings. I woke up to feed her, give her water, and more vitamin E at 2 AM and 6 AM. She’s able to stand, walk, drink, & (for the first time ever since today is gorgeous here) forage and play outside. Still tilted slightly, so I’m gonna keep the vitamin E going!
