Twisted neck

[Chicagoboy]

My baby chick has it’s neck twisted, he still pecking and still able to walk just keeps his head sideways. When I pick him up his head drops all the way down. I bought selenium from Walgreens. Is there anything else I should do ?

Vitamin E 400iu. One capsule per day until the chick is normal. The selenium is only needed in a very tiny amount, about 25 mcg. for the E to absorb.

Yes, each 180 mg capsule is 400iu.

I found him drowning, I feel like it’s getting worst. I tried giving him a mealworm and as was running with it he just froze and started to rub his head against the ground upside down with his eyes close like a seizure

I dried him up with a blow dryer. This him currently

Do I leave him with his flock or isolate him

It would have been helpful to include the near drowning in your first post. The chick may be still suffering from hypothermia and shock in addition to the neck issue.

Give the chick a combo of warm sugar water and electrolytes each hour for an entire day in addition to the vitamin E therapy.

It happen right after I sent the vitamin e picture!! Someone told me to give him apple cider vinegar with water for electrolytes
