Update: 7:15am today:
Our Silkie chick (now right at 11 weeks old) showed good improvement yesterday, and we hope for more today. At this time, she's still staying mostly inside in a pet bed with fresh linens, is standing while preening and grooming herself, but her head is still just above horizontal at best most of the time.
She's received vitamin doses consistent with the package recommendations of Rooster Booster for mixing with water, and Rooster Booster vitamin supplements for mixing with feed, though the latter we mix in a heavy concentration with yogurt and her regular Starter Crumbles (a ratio of about 1:1:1 for this mix). We have to force feed her this mix as she won't eat it on her own.
Otherwise, she's alert, responsive, talkative, and, oddly enough, seems happy.....
