Update on my baby chick

[CherishedFowlGuardian]

My baby chick has what I think is wry neck, but I am not sure anymore because I have not seen big improvements.
I don't know how to explain it, so I will send you pictures.

her walking with her flock she seems to do ok; she is eating and drinking

@Eggcessive & @Wyorp Rock
Need advise

What does that lump feel like? Can you tell if that's her crop or an air sac?

General treatment for Wry Neck is to give 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4tablet B-Complex daily along with a small amount of egg for the uptake of E.

This seems to be her bone in her neck.

This is her skin; it is a contracture from her neck being bent.

I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Hopefully @Eggcessive or @coach723 may have better suggestions.

I have no idea.

This might help.

Sorry, just saw this. From what I can see, I would suspect maybe a bone deformity as well. Maybe from being malpositioned in the egg. I've seen distorted keel bone in a couple of chicks hatched here that were malpositioned and had to be assisted at hatch. If vet care is an option, then an xray might show something. If not, and the bird is doing well, getting along in the flock, then I probably wouldn't worry, just let it be unless it's causing problems. I probably wouldn't hatch eggs from that bird, assuming all else is normal and it's able to lay.

Is there anything else I can give her to help? I’ve already been giving her treatments for wry neck.
