My little lady Miss Maude (8 week old silkie) is coming up to 2 weeks with having Wry Neck. Over the last couple of days I have noticed that when she drinks a portion of it come back up as soon as she moves, Also her crop is never full, you can hardly feel it even though she sits and eats for 30...

I have a 8 week old silkie with wry neck, I have been giving her the vitamins that are meant to help, but would like to know , whe she is having one of her "fits" should her neck be straightened or leave her as she is? My husband says to straighten her out, but I think she should be left as her...

Thanks, that's what I was thinking/hoping for. I am spending the evening with the little one down my top. I think she is cold as she is quite smaller than the others

Just picked up these guys, bantam frizzles. What colors would you say we have? Also one of the chick just screams when not being held, any idea what I can do to help?

We picked up our new chicks yesterday, what colors do you think these little darlings will end up being? Maude has curled toes which we are trying to straighten at the moment, she also has no leg feathering. I am really hoping for a blue and a partridge , but both hubby and I are confused on...

We managed to get the masking tape to stick. She is so tiny is hard to do , but we managed it. thank you for the advise

Hello. We got our new chickens from the Co-op this morning and have noticed that one of the chicks has curled toes, she is walking ok and it is not stopping her from getting around. We have tried to put a boot on her with bandaid, but since she is a bantam Silkie no matter what I do the bootie...

Went out to her this evening and her vent was blocked again, brought her in for a bath and after the bath she started to puff up and was pushing really hard trying to poop, there was just blood dripping a horrible odor and just a little watery poop, she was pushing for 10 minutes with nothing...

We have a large walk in coop, so luckily we can let the polish be in the human side of the coop with the other silkie that is nice. The silkie that was pecking has merged in with the bigger girls in the main coop. Husband has already worked out a way for them to stay in the human area and that...

She managed to poop without tearing tonight, so that's a good sign. Here is her post bath cuddle. it was for half a hour tonight and she fell asleep after being dried lol.

Husband went out this morning and had to clear her vent again as it was clogged up with poop. I am going to give her another bath today, it seems to help her, she relaxes and normally poops when its done. But we are starting to think about what is going to be best for her, as she is bleeding...
