    Wry neck in baby silkie

    Last night while we were bringing out girls in from outside, one kicked our silkie in the head when she went to jump on a perch. Immediately after our silkie had wry neck. It seems to have worsened overnight so I separated her from the others. There is vitamin e in her water. I also have...

    Wry Neck? Neurological? What is this?

    I have a hen that is a couple years old. Rescued/adopted from an animal sanctuary near me. In the mornings, when she comes out of her coop, I notice her body pulling to the right and left while her head stays in place. It happens repeatedly. She isn't doing it all the time. Her neck doesn't...

    HELP! Sick 3 month old Buff Orpington. Is this vitamin deficiency, Marek's or Wry Neck???

    Yesterday morning, Blondie, my 3 month old Buff Orpington, wouldn't come out of the coop. She was acting lethargic so I immediately brought her inside and gave her some electrolytes in water. She then started getting really droopy, very tired and wouldn't eat or drink. I posted a video to a FB...

    Wry Neck Help

    My 10-ish week-old Cuckoo Maren developed wry neck 1 week ago. I have been giving her supplements as recommended, hand feeding and keeping her safe from the rest of my little flock. She has gotten stronger but I do lose hope for her from time to time. She is working to figure out how to bring...

    Chick: 3weeks old, twisted beak, one eye, spins around, very few feathers, 1/2 size.

    My patty is 3 weeks old. 1. She has a twisted beak. 2. One Eye. 3. Her head is constantly spinning and so does she, so I’m pretty sure she has wry neck. 4. Her crop balloons up when she eats and when it’s full she chirps in a panic. So far: 1. I ground all of her food up in the coffee...

    Throwing head back to breathe?

    My 4 month old silkie chick just started wheezing a little bit today, and she's been breathing with her beak open and throwing her head back. She's also sleepier than normal and has barely eaten anything. She's drinking well though. I don't really want to put her on anything else since she's...

    Selenium for wry neck

    I just got liquid selenium for my 4 month silkie to help her absorb all the vitamin E she's getting, but I have no way of measuring the correct dosage. I know selenium is highly toxic if a chicken gets too much. The bottle has a dropper but no labels. Anyone have any advice? I'm supposed to give...

    Chick is significantly smaller than the others!

    I have 2 chick from someone who has no info on them. One has scissor beak and what I think could be wry neck. She is about 1/2 the size of the one she care with. And seems to need ‘mom’ more. I put her in my bag so she can feel as though she is being sat on by mom. The other chick is with...

I am giving it 25mcg of selenium a day and 2x 500ui of vit E. Along with feeding it through a blended mixture of high vit E ruffage /...

    Pressure Sores or Infection?

    The silkie chick I'm treating for severe wry neck has these discolored spots in some places. I thought they were from her lice infestation but now that all the lice are gone, these spots have scabbed over but not gone away. She hasn't been able to stand or walk for a little over 2 weeks. I just...

    Hello, I have a friend who hatched out chicks earlier this spring, and she had one that has symptoms of wry neck/ stargazing. She says it can eat and drink by it’s self, and it isn’t super contorted like others I’ve seen. I wanted to know what products you’d recommend to give it some vitamin e...

    Hello all, we recently hatched our first chick ever from my aunt's neighbors frizzle (it may be a silkie frizzle mix). We are very new to this and noticed that the little one tucks its head and walks backward. It seems ok for a moment but then back to the tuck and backward. Also very unstable...

    Wry neck and risk for drowning

    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...
