Hello friends,
I went to feed my chicks Sunday morning and one of the older ones was not in the brooder. It walked over to me from the corner of the room. It was still warm so I don’t think it was out that long, but now its head is like permanently cocked to the side a little bit. I thought maybe it was just holding it’s neck like that, but it’s still like that. The chick seems fine other than that. After consulting with a few friends, it was said that it possibly has wry neck. I wanted to confirm before treating him for wry neck that that is what it really is.
If it is wry neck I plan to treat with vitamin E. I can’t treat with B complex until I take them off of medicated feed. If it’s not necessary I don’t really want to buy another bag of non-medicated feed, but I would be willing to. Thoughts on that would be appreciated too.
Thanks for your help!
