Hello I need some help determining how much to feed our little one (6 weeks old) with wry neck. Right now we do have to feed her by syringe since she won't eat much by herself so we have been giving her 1cc of rooster booster and an egg yolk or two via syringe. Is that enough she's a jersey giant pullet so she is bigger we are worried she isn't getting enough calories especially since she hasn't really been pooping. Her symptoms and need to be syringe fed only started yesterday and her wry neck is pretty bad.

Here's a video of some of what she does when left to her own devices

It says we have to sign in for the video. A picture can also be helpful. Chicks with wry neck can be fed a very water mash of chick feed, raw or cooked egg, and water. Vitamin E 400 IU plus 1/4 tablet of human B complex can be helpful. You can find those at pharmacies and Walmart. You can dip their beak into a small bowl of the mixture 2-3 times a day. Fluids should be given 15 ml for every Kg or 2.2 pounds 2-3 times a day. Tube feeding can also be done. Videos of feeding a chicken with wry neck:
