I do a squirt of poultry cell every day in their water. For my adults every other day. We keep our house at 65 but the living room where the chicks are has a fireplace so 75-80 sometimes. I can put the brooder light on the top of the cage? What do you think?
This morning she was much better so I put her back in the brooder but removed the light… I wonder if she had hit her head on it? I’m so paranoid after Annie. Her sister was definitely wry neck and we did everything you are saying to do. She passed away in the night a couple of weeks ago 😞 they...
I just found another one of my baby Silkies has wry neck tonight. We lost her sister last week to it. It’s so frustrating because I have been giving them the poultry cell supplement in their water every day. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 😑.

This is my issue! I have tried milk crates, stackable cubbies, even roasting pans… they all lay in the same hole RIGHT BESIDE the nesting boxes. I gave up.
