    Not sure what’s going on?!

    Thank you for that insight. She doesn’t seem to be bloated and she seems to be doing better. I’m not sure if there was pus in the egg. It didn’t look like any of the pictures I found online. I’m wondering if she may be deficient in calcium which made the egg shell look deflated? Perhaps she’s...

    Not sure what’s going on?!

    Unfortunately I don’t have it anymore. If you look at the picture I posted, it looks like the shell is deflated and contents next to it are the yoke and egg white from what I can tell. Are you looking for something in particular?

    Not sure what’s going on?!

    Hello everyone I have a hen who has had chronic diarrhea for about a month now. She seemed fine and was eating and drinking normally. Then yesterday she became lethargic and stopped eating even her mealy worm treats. I’ve isolated her and have given her probiotics and electrolytes. She is...

    Could it be wry neck?

    Yes it’s powder form in a capsule. I like the treat idea for the Selenium. Thank you so much! This is very helpful:)

    Could it be wry neck?

    I have a question about dosage for the B complex. I have the capsule form with 50mgs in each. How much should I give per day? I’ve also been reading selenium is good, but too much could be toxic. I have 50 MCG tablets. How much should I give please?

    silkie roosters is tucking its head under it's chest.

    Hi there I have a rooster that is showing the symptoms described here and Im going to try the vitamins. I need to clarify exactly what :25 micrograms selenium is. I bought selenium that states there’s 50 mcg per tablet. Does that mean I should give him half a tablet?

    Could it be wry neck?

    I checked his skin again and I don’t see any signs of mites or lesions. I’m giving him a daily bath with diatomaceous earth and herbs. I also did a spray with garlic juice and essential oils of lavender and spearmint. Some other ideas I may be thinking is I wonder if he has an eyesight issue...

    Could it be wry neck?

    Yes, I do provide grit and the chickens get out to forage but not every day. I checked his crop this morning and it was empty. Thank you for the the link to the compacted crop remedies! I did give him coconut oil and he’s now pooping so that’s a good sign. Ive attached a couple of his poop pics...

    Also his poop is scant and on the dryer side. I feed him Scratch and Peck and I do give some of it fermented. He also eats grass and it has been longer blades now that it’s summer.

    Could it be wry neck?

    Unfortunately I’m not able to upload a video. I did add a few pics that show him pecking at his chest. I think he may have a compacted crop. It feels hard and I compared it to the other chickens and it’s definitely bigger. I’ve been giving hime water with Epsom salts and vegetable oil. I’d like...

    Could it be wry neck?

    Hello, I’ve been reading previous posts about wry neck symptoms and am wondering if my year old Silkie rooster might have the condition. Can their neck also go down between the legs? I noticed my rooster was acting off starting a few weeks back. He would put his head down and act like he was...

    Silkies or Mixed?

    Thank you for your input! I called the feed store and clarified they are Silkie bantam mixes. I don’t see anything Silkie about them other then their feet?

    Silkies or Mixed?

    Hi I have some chicks I bought from the local feed store and was told they are black Silkies. They have white on their heads and I haven’t seen any online that do? They are now about 5 weeks old and have quite a lot of feathers for Silkies? Anyone know if they could be Silkie Frizzles? Thank you!
