    Strange Neck Motion in Silkie Hen

    Mhm, I suppose it came at the right time. I likely won't be getting anymore chickens for a few years, so it feels like the end of a journey.

    Strange Neck Motion in Silkie Hen

    Sadly, she did not make it. 😢 After a week or two of feeding eggs and vitamins, she was doing much better - walking around, preening. But eating was always hard. At first, I wrapped her up burrito-style with a bowl in front, and she would take it, but gradually she stopped eating (I noticed she...

    Strange Neck Motion in Silkie Hen

    More lively now, preening herself a little when her neck manages to swing the right way and stay there

    Strange Neck Motion in Silkie Hen

    She's made it through the night; her neck is more swinging to the side than back and forth - very much like wry neck. Still won't take anything though.

    Strange Neck Motion in Silkie Hen

    She's feeling colder now - not moving much. I've been trying to feed her, but she's not showing any interest. Windshield wiping motion is weak, and my family is convinced she'll go tonight or tomorrow. I feel terrible that it might end this way. The symptoms only showed up yesterday, and it...

    Strange Neck Motion in Silkie Hen

    Her crop has a small bulge, and it doesn't seem like she's eating much, but she's not lethargic (eyes bright, stable walking, making sounds). I'm hand feeding her with a dropper bottle for the vit E, selenium, vit B, and wet feed. I'm just touching the dropper to her beak, though, so I'm not...

    Strange Neck Motion in Silkie Hen

    What intervals would you suggest for administrating the vitamin B? Should I leave out the eggs with vitamin E with her feed?

    Didn't manage to feed her again like I intended. We'll see how she is in the morning.

    Strange Neck Motion in Silkie Hen

    I crushed 2 vitamin b complex tablets, mixed the powder in water, and spoon fed it to her. I'm not sure how much she got down and will try again before nightfall.

    Strange Neck Motion in Silkie Hen

    *I originally posted this in Behaviors and Egg laying, but the more I research this, the more it seems like an injury or disease* I haven't seen anything like it before, and right now she seems to be normal and is eating. She was huddled on the ground with her head thrown back so that it was...

    Strange Neck Motion in Silkie Hen

    Hi, sorry I only have a photo - whenever I go outside, the chicken stops. I'm working on getting a video on YouTube. I haven't seen anything like it before, and right now she seems to be normal and is eating. She was huddled on the ground with her head thrown back so that it was resting on her...

    Silkies Merry and Pippin are fine. They're molting and hiding themselves from the world. (The last of the quail died off last year, and all the ducks are now at a friend's farm. Donut and Bomber are enjoying retirement in a pen of their own. They have grandchildren now) I've gotten busier, so I...

    Advice for getting more geese

    @Tonyroo @JRies Got it, thanks! Also, any advice on where to buy them online? I'm thinking Stromberg's or Metzer Farms. Of course, it's not the time for hatching yet, but I want to have a plan outlined :)

    Advice for getting more geese

    Hello! I am considering buying some geese as a present to my friends. They used to have 4 Embden geese (I think they were Embden), but unfortunately 3 were killed. The one left, a male, is a loner and sometimes hangs out with the ducks. We've been planning to get him a "bride" for a few months...

    Review by 'Kingbobkingdom' in article 'Bathing Silkies: How To Keep Them Bright & Fluffy!'

    My white silkies make regular rounds to a bare patch of ground for dust bathing, so they are not as clean as they used to be. Thanks for the detailed steps and pictures (the wet silkie was so funny to see)! I'm only wondering if I should rinse them off directly with a shower head or pouring...

    My friends and I went to the country fair a few weeks ago and roamed inside the 4-H building where all the entries were on display. I had a fun time with my brother viewing all the photographs that won ribbons because they really varied in quality. One was simply a phone picture of a cow’s nose...
