Mama hen hatched 5 chicks.

From what I can tell he’s just excreted a little more liquids than usual. Just means he’s drank more than usual. There’s no red in it?

No red in it thank goodness and that sounds right because I made mash with his crumble with nutri drench water.

Not having any progress as it seems today we are going backwards on progress. I am 50/50 on putting out of misery or keep at it. I need advice on people who have dealt with wry neck.

Thank you and Mama will not go back in the coop so I have a heat lamp for the chicks. She is just pacing the coop clucking I cannot get my hands on her. She's not being the brightest.

Wait until dark to catch her. Chickens can't see in the dark. I just hold a flashlight behind me for a little light.

She actually went into my coop with my pet chickens. I didn't want to mix up my game chickens with my french Maran's but they took onto her like they loved her so I will just leave her there. I guess because they see her every day while free ranging. So my chicks have been under a heater by themselves doing great.

I think you should create a second thread for wry neck and see if you can get any new advice. I am not sure at what point you should let the chick go.

If you are feeding anything other than chick starter, baby chickie needs grit.

Your hen is beautiful. I'm surprised she ditched the babies but not surprised shes angry at you haha. My game hens are fiesty when broody.

I have grit, starter crumble and scrambled eggs along with nutri drench water with cut up fine greens. Still no progress.

And she would go back in If I let her but it's easier for me to take care of them without being attacked everytime I try to replace water and all. I don't blame her but it's hard to deal with.
