    So today she refused food and water all day. I tried to force it but she’d had enough the poor thing so we had her put down. Vet said it was probably in her genes and there wouldn’t of been anything we could of done for her. Sad Evening for us all x

    yes she’s on vitamin e, b, kelp tablets and is due for a jag of vitamins today to give her a boost but the vet agreed with what your saying. It could be permanent damage. They said they’d give her a week to decide if there’s any improvement

    Ok so it’s getting dramatically worse and I’m about to call the vet. She’s now unable to feed or drink herself, her poop is runny and she looks dry and not herself at all. She’s still laying eggs, still occasionally holds her neck up high and has a nose about and sometimes does eat on her own...

    The last two days she’s been perfect. No signs at all of what ever this thing is. Then today when she left the coop her head was jerking like she couldn’t control it. Took her a little while but after a walk about the garden she looked ok but it’s not gone. I hate seeing her like this!

    Silkies Feed

    Hi ya, I was wondering how you got on with your silkies. I’m having a similar problem with my girls. They just won’t eat the pellets so I’m looking into mash or crumble

    Hi everyone nice to meet you all. I’ve been getting advice from this site for a while but decided to join yesterday, it’s the best group I’ve found and you all clearly love chickens as much as I do.

    I’ll ask the vet my other animals go to if he’ll see her, but other than that I’ll need to travel s good 60 miles to the next one. I live at the foot of Ben Nevis in fort william so in the middle of nowhere

    See I think that’s possibly part of the issue with her, she was only fed corn when we collected her from her previous owner and as much as I try to mix corn with layers feed, she’ll do her best to avoid it. I’ve had her separated and tried the tough love and she basically starved herself and I...

    Basically I think it’s wryneck and followed all the advice given and although much better, she’s still not 100%. She’s eating well and laying but her neck is still twisted slightly, some times worse than others. If she’s looking around she can hold her head up but other times she’s sat in the...
