Wry neck??

[digbychris]

im not an experienced “Hatcher” by any means. I’ve had a few australorps hatching & the 4th one had a hard time of it, nearly 72 hours. It hatched last night & this morning I put it in the brooder.
This guy can’t hold its neck up, can’t hardky walk & just rolls & flops Bc his balance is off. Is this a deformity or treatable wry neck? Tried to attach a short video but it won’t allow me.

Thanks!

Kinda sounds like it.

It does sound like it may be wry neck. I would supplement Vitamin E and selenium to see if you get some improvement. If you can post your video to another host, like youtube, then put the link here, that works.

I would also use some chick multivitamins that contain B vitamins.
