Wry Neck Chick

[Yologuy]

I'm battling wryneck right now we are on week 3 treatments. And he wouldn't and still doesn't drink.

Hopefully he'll recover soon. I'm forcefully feeding my chick sugar water and vit E rich water. It drinks very little Everytime and starts rolling the head after a couple of sips . Should I make him drink sugar water after short intervals? His current state is the weakest I've seen all day

Make him scrambled egg yolk mix with very wet mash and add little applesauce or not mix well the vitamin e needs the selenium to work and eggs are a natural source. I wouldn't overdose with sugar water

I just saved one of my turkey poults I hatched out that developed wry neck at about 3 weeks old. I gave him nutridrench by mouth twice a day and then added it to their water as well. He got worse before he got better but it only took a few days for him to be back to normal. Cant even tell which one ot was now

yes they do get very worse and loose weight. But turn around quick. I just came off a bad week

He'll have to figure out the best way to hold his head to eat and drink. When Rocky was bad he would tilt head way out to the side and drink but only few sips then he stopped drinking that's when i started making the soupy wet mash he has survived on that for 3 weeks. I always try to nudge him to drink but to no avail. He has started to eat dry crumbles so I'm praying he'll start to drink it is always available to him.
