Vit E will help tremendously. I have no faith in PolyViSol. It is a watered down version of vitamins to me. I use Dawes A-D-E or just plain Vit E from a capsule for wry neck.
We all have our favorite treatments. I am just sharing mine.
I had almost 2 dz Ameraucana eggs in my bator and had only 8 to hatch yesterday. One hatched without an eye and the other eye is deformed. The breeder says she has not seen that in her birds. Funny, I have never seen it in mine either, nor ever hatched one this way but no problem. I understand shipped eggs can be a risk.
So I have 7 blue and black chicks to work with from this breeder.
Today I have lavender and black(lav split) Ameraucana chicks hatching from another breeder. I have no idea where I am going to put all these precious babies since my brooder room is stacked high with brooders.
And I have run out of those little tiny bands. Now I have to try and use those tiny zip ties. My fingers were not made for tiny stuff, only power tools and a truck steering wheel!
Tomorrow I have 18 d'Uccle eggs due to hatch. Ummmmm....does anyone see that I have a problem?
Exciting hatching for you! Amy, I have a question. I had planned to use these chicks in our breeding program. I'm thinking this might be a genetic thing with her line. She said another buyer had had the same problem. Would you put these in your breeding program? I'd hate to send off eggs to someone and have them go through this. Of course, it might not be an issue. They are not getting better at all. I'm not even sure they can drink being a day old and having their necks all twisted. Most of what I've tried to put by their mouth doesn't go in.
