    Sick Silkie

    I'm really hoping somebody can help me solve the mystery of what's going on with my little silkie. She developed wry neck symptoms at 27 weeks. It was mild thankfully, but she had the classic dropping of the head. I brought her inside with my other silkie hen, because they get along very well...

    This is Miracle when she(or he) was getting better, her feathers fuller and able to stand and starting to be able to eat on her own. She had a rough hatch where you can see her trying to come out of her shell for 24 hours about 2-3 days after the other chicks hatched in the incubator. They...

    Wry Neck Advice

    In your opinion, how long would you give a chicken with wry neck before giving up? Im running out of hope and things to try. I haven’t noticed any improvements. I’ve been helping her for 20 days now and I don’t think it’s a vitamin deficiency anymore.

    Wry neck in silkie?

    I have a silkie who has been inside for a while now. She needed some major TLC and time to regrow her feathers. Her feathers have come in really nicely (she had lost almost all of them). Over the course of her time inside, she went broody and now we have a chick. I wanted to move her outside a...

    Wry Neck in a Chick

    Symptoms My barred rock pullet was 9 days old when I noticed that something was wrong. Her little neck had begun to twist back and upwards, leaving her fighting to stand upright, and forcing her head slowly and mercilessly around until her throat faced the sky. It didn’t happen all at once, but...
