wryneck

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...

Hello, my family and I decided to get chicks for the first time and we really wanted silkies so we ordered online from MyPetChicken. We got 2 silkies, 2 buff laced polish and 2 red stars as day old chicks. When they arrived, 1 polish and 1 red star was dead, and the other red star was...

Hi everyone, I have a 5 month old silkie rooster that started showing symptoms yesterday (24 hours), he was struggling to walk and keep his balance, and his head seemed to Tilt to one side. I caught him and isolated him in another coop (he can still see and hear the flock) and when I picked him...

Hello everyone. I have 4 Guinea Keets here that the mother abandoned. I picked them up yesterday morning, a few hours after they had hatched. I moved the guinea hen and her 20 babies into my baby coop. These 4 were left kicked out from the nest and already had flies on them, barely hanging on. I...

To start off, I have read every forum post on here about treating wry neck. I have tried all of the food and vitamin and water tips. I have treated her for any illnesses that might be connected to the condition. Nothing is working. My Welsummer, Beakman, started showing a bit of a twisty neck...
