She could have been pecked in the head. Look that up, I can't remember what it is vit b?? But swelling I'll make them still.
Hope she gets better.
I just had a little marans pullet pass from a seizure she's been in a coma ( or whatever chickens have) all day. I nursed her back from the first one but this time she didn't wake.
Quote: Chiqita knows silkies and that could be the answer. As I recall from an earlier post, the b vitamins help with the swelling.
I would look that up. With the feathers missing I would bet there is a brain injury going on.
I am really hoping she will recover! They are tough little creatures and if she makes until the morning you will be in much better shape. I go by the 3 day rule: If they are getting better after 3 days they will usually recover.
Keep up the good job you are doing with her!
