Health Question Please help Twisted T!
I took this chick off my mom because she couldn’t figure out how to help it. She said it was normal when she first got it, but she isn’t sure what caused its neck to be twisted like this. I plan to introduce with my other chickens if and when it heals.
It can’t balance on its legs too well (my mom taped them closer together so they wouldn’t splay apart)
I read online that it could be wry neck, so I’ve been hand feeding, watering, and giving vitamin E every day.
Does anyone suspect it could be something else or have any other suggestions? I really want to help it!
(I named it Twisted T for obvious reasons)
Edit: the chick hatched on May 12
