Update: when I got home from work so roughly 9 hours after feeding its crop was still not empty. As of this morning still not empty. So it clearly has some internal issues. I have made the decision to cull it. I can't stand to watch it suffer any more. If its not processing what it is taking in...
It is the only one of the bunch with these issues. The eggs are from my flock that have no health issues. This chick was hatched by a friend who didn't have the capacity to care for it.

I have a silkie chick that has wry neck. It is to the point it's head is all the way under its belly and it cannot walk forward just backward. It also will not eat solid. It does not open its eyes or want to drink water.
For the past 5 days I give it egg yolks with cinnamon and nutri-drench...
Well he free range but he isnt acting himself. Tail down not hanging out with his women and not wanting to move much. I've brought him inside to rest. His poop smells bad too not like normal poop

What would happen if I bred a pure silkie roo with a pure show quality bantam cochin? Would the result be a satin or do satin only come from smooth frizzled. To get satins should I get a frizzled bantam cochin?
I was told a roo. I dont care either way just wondering. Was born in April 2020. No crowing yet and gets picked on does not stand up for itself. Very quiet.
