    Wryneck

    Sad update. She has passed. My mom didn’t get a chance to check on her this morning, so I’m not sure how long she’s been gone. Last night she seemed more or less in the same condition she’s been. She seemed to be a bit weaker the last couple days, but not a whole lot. My parents aren’t willing...

    Wryneck

    So she’s still holding on, and we’re giving her vitamins. I don’t think she’s getting worse, but she also doesn’t seem to be getting better. She flails her neck around less. We feed our chickens Purina poultry feed Layena Crumbles. If she does have Mareks, how long do you think it would take to...

    Wryneck

    Okay so update- she made it through the night and so far through the day- my mom gave her some water with vitamins this morning- just now I was kinda holding her head up and giving her some water, which she seemed good with, she seemed like she was kinda trying to get closer, but couldn’t. She...

    Wryneck

    god I hope it isn’t that. I’m going to probably isolate her tonight anyway so she doesn’t get stepped on and such. If she/they do have it, what steps should I take to ensure their coop would be free from it so I could get new chicks come spring?

    Wryneck

    she’s fairly young we think, we got her and a few others in the spring when they were kind of young. She keeps her head like that or upside down and grinds it against her back. I’ve gotten her to eat a little applesauce and a bit of water, but that’s it

    Wryneck

    Hello! Earlier today my mother noticed one of my chickens seems to have wryneck. I’m not sure what to do about, or if there’s anything I can do. Please help

    sick hen, don’t know what’s wrong

    On the other side, I’ll be monitoring the rest of my chickens more carefully. What early warning signs should I be watching out for?

    sick hen, don’t know what’s wrong

    My parents don’t want to go through a necropsy, so I’ll just be burying her. Thanks for all the recommendations though

    sick hen, don’t know what’s wrong

    Honest it, the sight of organs makes me want to puke, I don’t think I could get through that. I’ll see about a poultry vet

    sick hen, don’t know what’s wrong

    Ideally I would, but I don’t know if there are any vets in the area that would do that. Also, I don’t think my parents would want to spend money on getting a chicken necropsied. I’d really like to know why she died, I had a hen die this last summer from sickness, and I don’t want it to happen again.

    sick hen, don’t know what’s wrong

    Unfortunately she passed during the night/morning. She seemed like she was doing better last night, I don’t know what happened

    sick hen, don’t know what’s wrong

    One of my hens is sick, but I’m not sure what exactly the issue is. I currently have her isolated in our basement, in a cage and box with shredded paper (their normal bedding) and a heater. Her breathing sounds kind of labored, but her eyes and nose aren’t swollen/runny. She can’t stand or walk...
