    Wry Neck Chick — 5 weeks old

    I’ve got a silkie chick who I’ve been treating for wry neck for 3-ish weeks now, and he’s only been getting worse. He used to just have a slightly tilted head, but now he’s often laying on his side, flailing around, his leg sometime just twitches, and he can only stand normally for a few...

    Wry Neck or Something Else?

    Hello everyone, this morning I noticed this chick's odd behavior and I'm not really sure what it is. They don't seem off balance and they're eating and drinking. I added some vitamins to their water but I'm just a little worried about what it could be. The video can't be posted here for some...

    Is it inhumane to keep wry neck chick alive

    Today I noticed one of my 4-week-old broiler chicks had a wry neck. He didn’t seem to eat or drink until I checked a couple hours later after the discovery. I hand-fed and hand-drank him and he immediately seemed a little better. I watched him go to the feeders and feed. His neck will go limp...

    BENT NECK?

    I couldn't upload a video, so I made a gif of a recording from my quail pen. The lighter dirty cream quail is the focus. Does she have wry neck or an injury? I bought her from a craiglist ad about a month ago. I only have 1 male quail in the pen who does mount the girls. Maybe he mounted her too...

    Is this wry neck?

    My little gander has had something like a consistent buldge on the side of his neck. I thought it was fat or muscle but I touched it (he didn't like that) and it's hard and feels like vertebrae He can do everything fine and doesn't seem to be in too much pain except if I touch it. He has taken...

    Wry Neck & Immobility: When is it time to give up?

    At what point does wry neck, likely caused by an injury, become irreversible? We discovered our silkie in this condition early today. We've been giving her vitamin E and egg, but she's immobile, lying on her side, kicking in the air, with her eyes fluttering and neck curled under. When we hold...
