I’m still trying to figure out what is wrong with my 6 month old silkie. She got hit quite hard with the door and since then can’t stand or even lay straight. She has one leg in front of her and the other on the side and he body is twisted to one side as well. She’s been eating and drinking but I’m worried she’s not going to get better. I qu’ils just like to figure out what part of her body is hurting or broken. She flaps her wings as if she wants to get up and move but she can’t. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Head trauma in a Silkie, I would try vitamin therapy. 400IU Vitamin E daily along with 1/4 tablet B-Complex. Give her some egg to help with the uptake of E.
Offer her wet feed instead of dry crumble and keep her well hydrated.


Most all Silkies have a vaulted skull, since she was hit in the head, it may take a long time to recover, if at all. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/silkie-hen-hurt-her-head.1519917/
