Is this Wry neck?

[PeanutnMono]

My 3 week old chick has been turning its head to the right. It is still eating drinking and running around normal. He can even turn its neck around the opposite way to nibble its feathers but there is a definite bend to the right at all times. This has been going on for a week. I’ve been massaging his neck and can feel a bone like substance on the left of his neck. I’m able to straighten his neck but as soon as I let go it folds down to the right again. I’ve been giving .05 ml of selenium vitamin e paste but don’t know if he needs more or something different?

I won't hurt to treat for Wry Neck. Do make sure he's eating chick starter too.

Below is the treatment for Wry Neck along with my comment about the Selenium and Vitamin E Gel.

Looks like Wry Neck which is a neurological symptom. Some common causes of Wry Neck are Marek's disease, trauma and vitamin deficiency.

I would try vitamin therapy.


Go to your Walmart, CVS, etc. and buy a bottle of Vitamin E (400IU) and B-Complex. Give her 1 vitamin E pill and 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily for a couple of weeks. Offer him a treat of egg or tuna to help with the uptake of E.

I would not use Goat Vitamin E and Selenium.
You would have to give 4ml to get 400IU Vitamin E and that would put you at 46.4mcg of Selnium which is way too high of a dose. Max Selenium dose is 25mcg for poultry, but it can be toxic in large quantities. Vitamin B1 is also a support vitamin for neurological issues and the goat vitamin does not contain that, so you would need to buy vitamins anyway.
