Wry Neck

[Eggcessive]

There is plenty of selenium in egg, tuna, and sunflower seed.

If you have a picture then that would be great!

I have a 3 month old Cochin frizzle bantam cockerel. Today my husband and I noticed he has wry neck. We had to research his symptoms to figure out what is wrong with him. We read that a Vitamin E and Selenium deficiency could be the cause for this. We honestly do not know if it was caused by an injury or deficiency. Does anyone have any advice for us to best help him recover? We are very new to chickens and we don’t want to worsen his condition.

We have other chickens and he is the only one like this.

Look these up, it might help.

Just for clarification - Sometimes it's fine to quote recommendations/suggestions, but "context" should also be considered. The post you quoted that I wrote was for that specific "chick" in that thread. It was for a week old Quail, not a chicken chick. For a chicken chick, I would use the recommendation that @Eggcessive posted in this thread of using 400IU Vitamin E.

That's why I tagged the 4 of y'all.
Sometimes just reading what others do in similar circumstances is more helpful than people realize.
When we start a thread asking for help we never know who will respond to our call.
My chick that I treated for wry neck was a 2 week old bobwhite. Thank goodness for Google, it took me to the BYC threads...
