Twisted neck

[azygous]

If you are expecting this chick with torticolis (wry neck) to drink normally from a dish, it is not possible. It will drown trying. You need to use an oral syringe to help it get the fluids it needs right now. It needs warm sugar water and electrolytes. ACV doesn't supply this, so skip it.

Are you familiar with the throat of a chicken and where the airway and esophagus are located?

Where are you located, please? How many chickens do you have? Do you have other chicks? Did you hatch the chicks yourself?

I’m in Chicago, ididnt hatch these chicks myself. I got them from a flee market for 10 bucks. I’m not familiar with the throat. I have 4 chicks total

I’ve been holding him and putting his beak in the water myself

The other chicks get water from a different container, so I’m assuming he jump in

First of all, chick proof the water dish by placing marbles or rocks in it so if a chicks stumbles and falls in, it won't drown.

Here is a picture of the throat of a chicken.

When you insert an oral syringe, go in on the right side of the chick's beak. Go under the tongue, not over the top. This will line you up to aim the syringe directly into the esophagus which goes right into the crop.

You can get a slender syringe by begging one from your pharmacy. They are free. Usually. You need to give the chick more fluids than just dipping its beak until it can recover from the wry neck and drink on its own. Do the sugar water as it is a cure for shock. This is in addition to the vitamin E.

I'm going to bed, so hope this will be enough to get you started.

I dried him up with a blow dryer. This him currently

In the photo there's a couple of bags. What exactly are you feeding your chicks?
Do they have chick starter to eat?

Sometimes these things happen.
Do the best you can. Focus on keeping her hydrated and eating.
Hopefully the vitamins will help.

I know, it does hurt when one is not doing well, they are sweet little things.
