Hey everyone! My rooster developed a wry neck and had some respiratory issues before. I decided to treat with a 5 day course of tetracycline and also multivitamin drops + half capsule of vitamin e daily.
His antibiotics course ended yesterday but there's no improvement. He keeps sleeping and his...
My 1 year old silver laced polish rooster got wry neck in early december, not long after his brother died on Pneumonia. He tuckes his head under his body and only on his right side. He is eating and drinking on his own, and will ge up to walk from one end of his temperary housing to the other to...
Super worried about this duck, I’ve seen pictures of wry neck but this looks different. Maybe an early stage I just need help with what to do and how to treat it. I just noticed this today, and haven’t seen any other issues with this duck, or my other duck until now. Please help!
Hi all,
I have a buff Orpington hen with wry neck. She’s under two years old and slowly it’s gotten worse, so I’ve isolated her from the other hens in a dog crate with water, food and I’ve been feeding her egg and sunflower seeds mixed together with vitamin E supplement.
Right now it is...
December 1st I noticed she would lay in the corner on the floor of the coop. I didn't see anything to be concerned. Later I noticed she had a limp. I thought
she may have been trampled. We have 2 guinea roosters that can play rough. I don't think they're bullies but they seem to be careless in...
Hi all,
I was recently given a few silkies & silkie mixes a lady could no longer care for. While they are dirty, they appear healthy. I suspect one has wry neck though. She also is doing this thing where she stretches her neck and opens her beak, I tried to get a photo…She is full grown. What...
Hi, I have this black chicken (might be a rooster) that is about 29 weeks old (I'm not sure about its breed). For around two months now its head would stay tilted towards the left side. Sometimes, it would fling its head violently, as if trying to scratch its ear.
Thinking that it could be wry...
Help! I’ve got a 6 week old Ameracauna chick with wry neck. We’ve been isolating her, as well as supplementing selenium, vitamin E, and adding electrolytes to her water.
She seemed a little better for a few days, but today she’s been writhing as her neck will twist and then she is “stuck” on...
Hi everyone
I have a little orpington buff chick that hatched yesterday and sadly it seems like he has wry neck.
The only things that I can get my hands on is selenium and vitamin E tables from a drug store. Our pet and vet shops don’t seem to have any supplements for chickens.
The only other...
I just hatched a new batch of chicks- one of which had a severe case of wry neck. His neck was bent up and if he stood up, he fell backwards immediately. Thankfully it is curable! This disease also does not spread to others, however it is best to keep them separated to the others do not pick on...
Hi,
I've got a 2 month old crested mallard duckling that fell and hit her head a few days ago. Since then she has had trouble holding up her neck straight and she will completely straighten her legs causing her to fall over. My mom thinks it might be wry neck so we separated her and have been...
This is my first year owning chickens but I wanted to share an experience that i hope will help others.
I had a chicken showing symptoms of Wry Neck, twisting her head upside down and falling. Initially I was not sure what caused it but i came to suspect it was from a fall.
I was worried she...
