[GALLERY=][/GALLERY]My family recently got new chicks of assorted breeds. The affected chicken is a Silkie. She was found this morning, still alive but I don't know for how much longer. She was under all of the other chicks in our small pen. Her neck is bent about 90 degrees, sometimes it varies and she will stand almost completely straight, other times her head is almost upside down. I looked it up and found a disorder called "stargazing" in which the chick has not enough vitamin B so their head goes back, blah blah blah, y'all should know this disorder. But this chick was trampled, nothing else. Right now we put the silkie in a box inside with fluff and water and food, along with an Easter Egger because chickens are social animals.
Anyways, her neck is bent and I'm worried her time is running out. Is there anything I can do to fix her neck? If not, can she live with a neck like this?
