Will nutri drench fix wry neck???

[quailmama 82012]

One of my chicks has a small wry neck. I put nutri drench in the water. Will it fix it? (We just moved houses with them. He can still eat and drink on his own, but he slipps and ends up on his back alot. Will he be okay?
(Sorry for so many questions)

nutridrench is good to use but typically won’t correct wry neck in quail. at least not IME wry neck in quail typically results from being stuck in the egg or malpositioned for too long. I have had many levels of severity but most have survived until such time that I choose to remove them from the group.

He was malposistioned...

Is there a way to fix wry neck? I have a chick that was fine for the first 3 days but probably day 4 I noticed it. I've also added an electrolyte to the water hoping to fix it. This is my first experience so I didn't know if it was truly fixable.

I don't think it is. The two birds that I've had with wry neck grew up with no problems. I only kept them until they were big enough to eat, though.

Electrolytes will not fix the problem.

That's a tough decision, but it sounds like you made the right one.
