    Possible wry neck???

    Please help. On Tuesday I found "bumblebee" laying on ground with a severely kinked neck. She is polish chicken. 2 months old. When she hatched she had really bad splayed legs but my hubby nursed her back to health. We had a chicken do something similar and diagnosed symptoms as wry neck(...

    We bought the mum and chicks inside but had the chicks out to take a photo. They are back and snuggled with mum in their new mummy and chic house just for them for the next week or so while i sort out the main coop amd the other chickens I have. The coop isn't quite chick friendly and the hen...

    Yup. Don't worry. That was just the transport box up to the house. They are back in a nest box in a cage with their mumma inside :) Im so impressed with my little hen. She is only 7 months old and had only been laying for 4 weeks before going broody. I cant believe how strong her instincts were.
