    Wry Neck

    When I found her in the kennel this morning, she was kinda laying on her side but her head was turned towards the sky. So, I don't know. She always seemed to be a little "off" so I did everything I could, which probably just bought her more time. None of the others (5 hens & 1 roo) are acting...

    Genny died sometime during the night last night.

    Wry Neck

    Well, Genny isn't doing too hot. At first, I thought maybe she was backsliding with the wry-neck issue but she hasn't gone all exorcist like yet. I first started noticing her acting a little funny on Saturday. On Monday, she had trouble getting on the roosting bars so she slept on the floor of...

    I hope so too! No sign of backsliding as of today. I stuck the vitamins in the group waterer anyway for good measure, as it won't hurt anyone. But she must be feeling pretty good as she'd start sleeping on the highest point possible. I thought it was just while she was waiting for everyone to...

    Wry Neck

    Well, we went out of town Thursday - Sunday & our neighbors (who have chickens) watched over our birds, including Genny, the wryneck pullet. I was nervous about them watching her because they didn't agree with the supplement methods. Supposedly, they had a couple chickens/turkeys that had...

    I'll add it but she's not lacking energy.

    She might've done that occasionally but not enough that I noticed a pattern.

    Definitely, but I'm not giving up hope yet. She's eat, drinking & walks around with the group (when I let them all out). If the time comes & I hope it doesn't, I'll know when to make THAT call.

    My little Genny seems to be worse when going to bed to first thing in the morning. If I'm home during the day, I'll check on her in her little taxi & sometimes she'll be sitting with her head turned & others, she'll be standing up with her head cocked to the side. I'll let her out to walk...

    Wouldn't it be nice if we saw improvement so quickly? I don't like being helpless & seeing my baby struggle. Genny seems to be at her worst overnight/when I get her in the morning.

    When I got home, she wasn't looking too hot. But I let all of them, including her out again. She had a couple times when she flung her head around & ended up twisted. But more times than not, she held it together. She doesn't seem interested in the homemade turmeric tea (another nature method id...

    Wry Neck

    I've looked at the tube feeding thing & I just don't think that's a practical thing for me. I'm actually going out of town next Thursday - Sunday night. But I will try the cucumber or watermelon slice thing. I put the crushed up pills into the water, which is poured over her food, hoping that...

    Wry Neck

    She is in a pet taxi. So she's separted but still I n the coop. I'd been told that I needed separate her so she doesn't get trampled or pecked at. During the day, I move the taxi into the run & at night, it gets moved into the coop. She seemed more stressed out when she was away from them. When...

    Wry Neck

    I'm dealing with a wry-neck baby as well. She's not so much as baby, as she's almost 20 weeks. This is only day 3 of trying to treat her & I'm a total wreck today. She seems to get worse at night so when I get her in the morning, she looks like an exorcist chicken. However, normally I can...
