    Silkie chicken has severe wry neck (5 or so days) - how much longer do I give her??

    Thank you. Sweet girl died last night :( I'm the same - couldn't bring myself to be too forceful with her feeding or wearing neck brace. Learnt lots from the experience though and hopefully it won't happen again. Thanks again for your time.

    Thanks again for your help. Unfortunately, my sweet girl died overnight 😢 Wish I had done more earlier or maybe more forceful feeding would have saved her.. Hard to know, isn't it? Hopefully I kept her comfortable until the end 🤍

    Good to know - thanks so much! My feeling is vitamin deficiency (or maybe hoping it’s that as it’s treatable!) I will give her longer.. Thanks again ☺️

    Oh, that sounds awful!! The lady said to use when they're growing and not have too tight.. She was talking about muscle development so has to be when they're young only?? I was a bit dubious though! Makes me sad to think of people using them so tight.. I could never.. I was hoping it would be a...

    Did you find out??! I'm in a similiar situation although I only have 4.. Totally understand about becoming attached! I can't bear the thought..
