Oh, and do your chick's feet look anything like this? IMG_3703.JPG

Cats look down on man,

Chickens will scream until man bends down to look at them.

Thank you for all the help, I ended up making little cardboard booties for it i tried just bandaids alone and it didnt really work so these cardboard ones seem to do the trick she has alot of trouble getting around and chirps like 24/7 but i think this will work i was wondering how long i need to leave them on though? so now that that crisis is semi avoided i got thrown another one i found my 3 month old silkie laying on her side with her neck bent i thought she was dead but she is still breathing thank god, i think she has wry neck but im not sure she shakes her head constantly and it like she cant hold it. i have brought her inside and am feeding her water with save a chick electrolytes in it but i think she needs real vitamins :( i hope she make it what are your guys thoughts?

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry... i have been away for a while... how is the chick and the silkie? am i too late? I understand how you feel about the silkie One of my Texas A&Ms has wry neck...i think...she holds her head underneath her body, stumbles backwards and falls over sad.png  But i don't think she will be with us much longer. Today we had a torrential downpour and everyone (exept the herps) got drenched. She is standing really still with closed eyes and will not move her head, which after a while she normally holds up untill she gets scared or angry.
