I am going thru the same thin right now with my rir. I did a little researcha nd it is very common in silkies - it is called wryneck or crookneck. I am nursing mine back right now. I just got the polyvisol w/o iron and the softgel vitamin e capsules. she went from completely twisted to now...
About a week ago I noticed that she was walking in circles and then put it's head completely twisted around. I listened and added the antibiotic to the water that I give her and the polyvisol and vitamin e and she seems like she is doing a little better for about 30 sec and then she twists her...
I have week old chicks that act like they are fine and then the next min they are putting there heads upside down and walking in circles. They look like they are drunk. When they hatched I only had one doing it and then it stopped and now I have a rir that is doing it and I have isolated her...
He hatched yesterday and his toes are curled under - where the other chicks are able to walk, but he can't because his toes are curled. I have given him water with a dropper and crumbled food in front of him - I will look that up thank you
Alot of them have hatched with no problems and this is my first time and I am just worried that I am doing something wrong - I have a guage that shows temp and humidity and a glass therm and they have stayed at 100.00 and the humidity is at 65%.
It is laying on it's belly and it's ffet arte seperate but they do not work - it is like they are when they are in the shell - af if they can not move - I have him on a washcloth - I have given him water with the dropper and he has food beside him, but when I put him in the brooder the others...
