Can a chicken live with a broken neck?. It otherwise isn't acting weird, but this is a serious problem. It was fine last night in the coop and this morning it was sitting behind something when I opened it up this morning.


 
It looks like wry neck, a neurological problem that can be due to a head injury, a vitamin deficiency, and sometimes seen in a few diseases, such as Mareks and others. Some chickens are affected through heredity. Start some vitamins that include vitamin E, thiamine B1, and give him a little chopped egg or tuna which has selenium in them every day. Hopefully he will perk up. If he is not able to eat or drink enough, make him a bowl of wet chicken feed with a lot of water, and mix in some egg. You can hold him wrapped in a towel and feed him that if necessary. Good luck.
