Protruding skull in silkie

[i do it for the bantams]

Update! I now have 3 walking drinking earring babies! The other one I decided you splint and overnight she is up! (Or he) I'm hand feeding and watering the blind one... I can't give up on it. The straight legged one is called splay legged too i guess. Still falling over but handling business!

Thank you for your continued support. After putting a splint on little yellows feel and addi by the wash cloth we had a standing baby this am. Fell into the water dish but recovered!!! That one will stay in my special needs area for a while. Not really sure how to handle my little blind baby. But i will keep it together as long as it will stay with me!!!

I officially have a little black walking silkie and a little yellow walking frizzle!! They are still splinted but are pretty good with their coordination! I have to say I didn't think any of them would make it.
Also wanted to update you on my blind one. It finally figured out where the food and water is. It's eating and drinking on its own. I watched it feels it's way around the walls and then step in the water dish and get more then one drink! I'm so happy! So officially I have chicken 1- Black silkie named splits- still a little wobbly without the splint which I just removed about 30 minutes ago little one peeps all the dad gum time that just gets all the others up to peep loudly
Chicken 2- yellow sizzle Bantam named spins- walking around really well drinking eating and peeping loudly in sync with the others
Chickens
Chicken 3- silver frizzle Bantam named wonder- eating and drinking on its own. Doesn't peep though. Or if it does it is way quiet! I'll be having a special habitat for this one. I'll find a special mate for this one. I have had inquiries about buying or taking some of these babies off my hands but really I'm keeping them all.. they took all my attention off the other ones and now I have my babies that I will keep I just love them
There are 3 additional ones I want. But I will see how it plays out!!

Great news. I used to have a blind rooster he didn't do so well after going outside and we lost him. It hit hard so cherish your special needs greatly.

I'm going to keep the 3 special needs together and document their growth and how I am able to get them to thrive! I'm in love. They all hear my voice and are ready to get to me. I hold them and they just sleep in my hand can't wait tonsee what they grow into!
