Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

I know I am only young..ish but people not knowing who INXS are, or that ever popular "Not happy Jan" phrase....next thing people will be saying they had never heard "did I do that?" "Kiss the baby" or a catchy little tune by a very young Will Smith about being born and raised in West Philadelphia!

Always feel a bit old when people say "that was a bit before my time" to these things lol

Welcome to our 'not so little thread anymore'

Sam I have no idea why you little one is doing that. You are doing a great job giving it the best chance it can to survive

Sorry Sam I missed this post. It looks to be a form of wry neck. Get it on the pentavite or there is a product for parrots that you can get from your local petshop.
If you've got some vit E capsule open one and give her at least half the contents daily. Soaked chia seeds would also be a good source of selenium, and E and most importantly magnesium.

It's a vitamin deficiency and unfortunately it's all too common in silkies. I have dealt with it once and my little guy recovered , but If you search wry neck you will see that some have not been so lucky.

Thanks Kym, I still haven't learnt how to add links, not even sure I can on my iPad. A great example of recovery.

Thanks this one is the only one that sleeps like it. It stands and is now eating nearly on its own.

Same chick before a mini bath

Oh sweet little thing. I see you have booties on it too. Curled toes can also be a sign of deficiency, but sometimes a humidity issue. Looks like it is on the road to recovery.

Thanks Fancy. I started with honey water first day. Then started using vegemite water now I have chick starter in Vegemite water. Poops are nearing normal again
