    Silkie Hen Super Sleepy

    I’ve gotten her to eat and drink and she’s perked up a lot. We have her eating mealworms, seed, and some minerals mixed in with some layers pellets (small ratio of treats to pellets).

    Silkie Hen Super Sleepy

    Hey there. I got a new silkie hen (about 8 months old) yesterday, and she’s weird. She isn’t out with the other chickens yet. She’s really sleepy, won’t walk on her own unless turning in place, is super quiet, and isn’t eating and drinking much. This was happening yesterday but I just...

    Chick Doing Badly

    The curved neck chick (Ravioli - my sisters idea), can eat and drink. She just constantly looks to the left. She can move her head in all directions, just not her neck.

    Chick Doing Badly

    This is the best picture I could get. When you look at her the only thing you would notice is she always looks to the left, and she has a bald spot. The bald spot is where her crop has been moved due to her neck deformity.

    Chick Doing Badly

    She's doing great! We found her some more chick friends (3). Two who were just small (we paid full price), the third has a curved neck (the employee let us smuggle her out for free). They're all perfect for each other and should live long happy lives.

    Unfortunately, Lace passed away around noon today.

    Chick Doing Badly

    The table wasn't on the ground, you're right. We think she hatched with neurological damage, since she's never had good balance. She's been doing a lot of laying around, extremely bad breathing (labored to the point it looks like she's gagging) and she hasn't been getting to food and water on...

    Chick Doing Badly

    Hello. In my previous, everything was peachy with my little chick. She has now shown some issues that look to be neurological. She is doing much better after some extreme tlc. Here's what happened. Lace (the tiny chick) was cold, so I set up my bean bag warmer to babysit her with since she...

    Sick Chick?

    Lace is doing so much better! Not 100% but close, still sleepy. I gave her some egg yolk not too long ago, and she drank about half of what I gave her (see pictures attached). She's standing almost perfectly and keeping her eyes open. I was bothering her to see what she would do and she ran...

    Sick Chick?

    This morning Lace was standing on her own when I roused her, and my mom said she was eating the normal food by herself. She keeps her eyes open longer to stare at me and now struggles a bit more when touched, like the other chicks!

    Sick Chick?

    I have 20 chicks, only one has issues. This chick is as small as the ameraucana bantam chick who hatched a whole day prior. My family and I incubated and hatched 20 chicks out of 41 eggs. This little chick is tiny, didn't move very much after hatching, while the rest of the chicks would...
