Yeah I know, but it'll probably be awhile before I have my nankins established well enough to add another "project" to my plate. I have to get some utility back on the priority list before taking on another "but I want to" lol

Wry neck, may have a six week old with it, 

 

I have a trio six weeks old, (Marans), went out this morn and one pullet was behind the waterer, upside down, with a stiff neck, brought here in, and put her by a heater, she has been there all day, cant seem to get on her feet so I dont think it was from the cold, seems to affected her spinal column, anyone ever have one come out of  this??

 

I held her for about an hour, with her head and neck up, gave her water which she drank, but she seems to be stuck in a position  with her head and neck down.

 

Last eve she was a healthy contented pullet, now, a twisted neck cripple.

 

Bummer.

Jake, go on my website and search for "chick with wry neck" there is a video and a formula for vitamins and minerals to help. It is possible to fix but you have to do it soon.

Well, the other Mary/NotAFarm, must be giving some wonderful feed to her Icelandics.  All 16 that she sent me made it to lockdown, 1 quit at the end and the last one is zipping.  So, I should get 15 of 16!  Lots of whites and browns with about 3 or 4 different shades of chipmunk.  What did Drekki look like as a chick? I forgot....

 

... and they are the speediest chicks in the brooder...totally amazing!  I named one Slime and I'm guessing it's a "he".  He was the first one to pip and fourth to hatch.  He looks way skinnier than all of the others but I am totally in love with that chick.

Keeper of 26 hens,  4 PW Leghorns, 1 leghorn mix, 1 FBCMarans, 1 Australorp, 1 Buff Orpington, 2 Mama Olive Eggers w/ 15 chicks each, 1 EE, a Barred Rock, a RIR, a CQ, 1 Delaware, 1 Black Star, a Splash Ameraucana, 3 W/BW Ameraucana pullets, 5 polish, 2 Welsummers and 41 juvies of various breeds. YIKES!  Time to SELL some chickens!
