    Wry neck...Treat or euthanize?? UPDATED with GREAT results!!

    OK… I’m very happy to see that somebody did this… We have a silky who has a really bad case. She can barely keep her head up, and we have to hold her neck up so she can eat. Sometimes she can snap out of it and she eats and drinks on her own, but this first week has been very rough. I...

    Wry neck in a silkie!

    Thanks. Yesterday she was able to walk a little bit and today she would just rather walk backwards and she can’t walk for words. She has moments that she can hold her head up and then it’s right back down. I have prednisone… How much should I give her as I know that is something commonly given...

    Anything? When I put her on the cage or anywhere she starts walking backwards and her neck is turned around multiple times

    Wry neck in a silkie!

    hey guys! So one of my silkies came down with wry neck.. bad. Here’s what we’ve done: Day 1 - we saw laying down with her neck drooping like she couldn’t walk. We have her some eggs, confined her with her sister in a cage (they’re inseparable), and then had her drink from water with Apple...

    Ear infection??

    Thanks. So how do you tell the mites around their beaks and eyes? My wife and I picked up each chicken and sprayed around them and underneath the wings and their feet avoiding their face. Then we put a little bit on our fingertips and rub it on the top of their heads. Took a break because...

    Ear infection??

    Thank you for all your help. Last question. So we went ahead and gave them a "bath" and we are cleaning their run and spraying it. We found that some of the big girls have it, too. If they go to an area where the mites still are, as they free range, but they have been treated, will they be...

    Ear infection??

    Thanks! What keeps them from getting poisoned should they peck at their feathers or each other?

    Ear infection??

    They were in the garage for a while, in an indoor run. Lately they have been in their own cage about 50-75' away. We are going to spray regardless and we will check all the girls for mites. Should we spray the liquid on them Anyways? If so, just literally spray them? What if they get it in...

    We had 'em quarantined, thank God. However we did try to introduce them to the flock a few days back, so we're going to check immediately

    She was active recently too. She's definitely not our first chicken... we have 24, but this is the first case of mites!

    Ear infection??

    Unfortunately she just passed away. Can they die from this?

    Ear infection??

    No.. I bought Poultry dust with Permethrin. Should I just return that too? Sounds like using the liquid would be easier.
