    Chicken with one eye closed, now very inactive, not eating or drinking very much.

    Two days ago I went to let our chickens out to roam a bit while I cleaned up their pen. One chicken didnt come out with the others but just stood in the run doorway which caught my attention.

She is a seventh month...

    My 2 week old Silkie chick has wry neck and I’ve separated her from the main brooder. I put in a water feeder along with her food, but her lack of balance due to wry neck has led her to fall into the water tray. She cant always get herself out so I decided the risk for drowning was too high...
