    Silkie with wry neck best vitamin solution?

    She comes outside each day and while she does move from place to place, in general there is not much movement inbetween, she just goes from one place to another and usually sits in one place for 30 mins or so before slowly making her way to another, for the wry neck itself I've noticed over the...

    Silkie with wry neck best vitamin solution?

    Would pouring the liquid from the gel with nothing else added be fine? or maybe it's better to mix it with some water so it's easier to get all of the liquids, but I don't even know if that would be good or not, not really supposed to open up the capsule and do all this stuff.

    Silkie with wry neck best vitamin solution?

    Today went pretty bad, tried for like 30 minutes to force the capsule but it just wasn't possible, most of the time is spent getting the beak open without her instantly moving her head (which is unstoppable) the few times I did actually get her beak open it was barely big enough to squeeze the...

    Silkie with wry neck best vitamin solution?

    In her current state, I believe force feeding anything would be really difficult, today she seems to not be doing a whole lot and she's mostly just sitting quietly in one place, moving every once in a while to a new place to sit at. I think I definitely won't do another capsule today and hope...

    Silkie with wry neck best vitamin solution?

    Most of the trouble was with opening the beak and keeping it open, so even if I would do it with a syringe I feel like it would be nearly the same, I guess you could say that with a syringe you can open the beak and put the syringe slightly into the beak so closing it is not an option for her...

    Silkie with wry neck best vitamin solution?

    Small update for today: Getting the capsule in was not easy, she'd constantly fall asleep and wake up as I was trying to open her beak, on top of that she was also moving her head around every time I tried to open it, essentially fighting it off, although she did not attack me. Eventually I...

    Silkie with wry neck best vitamin solution?

    Great link, and very good idea to watch some videos about force feeding a chicken before you do it yourself, I actually gave her some vitamins through syringe yesterday(was with water), as I wanted to make sure she would consume them, it went very good, made sure to administer it in small...

    Silkie with wry neck best vitamin solution?

    It will be dark here in about one hour, which obviously means the chickens go to their coop and sleep (the wry neck one I kinda have to help get back up) should I still (force)feed it one capsule right now? and also just something else I've been wondering, would it be good or bad if I tried to...

    Silkie with wry neck best vitamin solution?

    So even though I ordered yesterday within the time limit, they say because of Black Friday, deliveries can have a delay and they give a tracking number as soon as it's sent, I haven't received one by now and it's 9AM which basically means it's not going to arrive today, can I use any of the...

    A combination of corn, wheat, dari, peas, sorghum (its a mix of food suitable for chickens that I buy from the store) I also give them dried mealworms (I have one other silkie that is currently perfectly healthy) they walk freely outside all day every day in a pretty big yard, but when the...

    Silkie with wry neck best vitamin solution?

    Going with vitamin deficiency as it makes a lot of sense, I checked for marek's and she hasn't shown any symptoms other than the wry neck, also no traces of a head trauma.
