    Silkie wheezing and one eye closed. Another with smooth lump on leg

    No vaccination for Mareks. Vet says it's not that (hopefully) Crops on both chickens seem normal size and not hard. One with outward respiratory issues may feel slightly 'puffy'. Dont see mucus coming from beak. Don't see bubbles in eyes. the closed one is actually starting to open today so...

    Silkie wheezing and one eye closed. Another with smooth lump on leg

    Have two issues with silkies. First one has a build-up of phlegm/Mucus and is wheezing. It often runs out of her mouth area when she leans forward. She is a little off balance but not too bad. She has one eye closed due to the infection obviously. She will eat and drink fine (as well as she...

    Four months and chicken will not stop brooding!!

    I know there are similar threads to this but none of the answers work in my case. Have a hen who has been sitting on nest for nearly four months now. There are no chics etc and she has never had eggs under her. She is not laying. She (with 12 others) have a very large coop that they can go...

    Wry neck? Any last ideas?

    Yes it can be very upsetting when you put so much effort into trying to save them. I've read all these 'cures' etc online for wry neck and they had no effect what so ever. The only thing I might have done differently was getting her an injection early on to try and combat any potential brain...

    Wry neck? Any last ideas?

    Even if have mareks it seems as though there is nothing you can do from what i read about it . Am not really sure it was that as she seemed to take too long to die from it and others have not shown any symptoms all this time. But who knows. I can just hope its not.

    Wry neck? Any last ideas?

    Poor girl died today. Tried injection for swelling on brain but made no difference. Died in my arms As an added bonus her little daughter in the photo dropped dead 2 hours earlier. No idea why. Great day

    Wry neck? Any last ideas?

    Ill keep it at 25mg a day then. She wont eat egg at all. No vets around here have any idea about chickens but I may have found one that knows about the Prednisone so will be calling tomorrow to see if can get some.

    Wry neck? Any last ideas?

    I had been giving 25 mg of selenium 2-3 times daily with 500-1000 iu of vit E (capsule) I have tried slightly higher or less amounts trying to get some improvement. She was pecked in the head by a rooster a couple of times the day before the wry neck appeared. Could be coincidence. Who knows...

    Wry neck? Any last ideas?

    I am giving her a vitamin mix (for birds) in water which contains all those you suggested. Have been doing that for a week or so. She wont touch egg but seems to love strawberry yogurt. I have heard suggested in could be mareks but it has been going on for a long time so thought she would be...

    Wry neck? Any last ideas?

    URGENT HELP NEEDED with Selenium dosage for wry neck chicken!!!

    But you need selenium with Vit e? Problem is we have nothing over here (Australia) and cannot get most products mentioned so have to take educated guesses. I am currently giving this amount each day split into 2-3 meals: 1-2 x 1000ug vitamin e mixed with chick feed 75-100 ug of selenium tablet...
