Crooked Neck in newborn baby quail

[yungmacaroni]

Hi everyone! Out of 6 baby quails that hatched, this little guy is the only one having issues. I believe he was shrink wrapped in his membrane, so I helped him get out. He’s been out for about 6 hours now and his neck is pretty crooked. Any tips to help my little friend out? Thanks in advance

Is he resting? Does his neck stay like that even when he moves?

Yes and yes

Depending on how bad the defect is, it can live a pretty normal life with wry neck. PolyVisol or a vitamin E and Selenium treatment has been recommended....I have never been able to correct wry neck in any of my quail or pheasants. The treatments seem to work best on chickens!
Wry neck in quail is not common, it's more common in pheasants and chickens.
Mainly make sure it's eating and drinking, if not you may have to cull.

I've had wry neck quail. As long as it's eating and drinking, it can live a normal life, but I wouldn't breed it. I've usually let mine get to butcher size and then sent them off to freezer camp.
