I have a silkie chick about 3 months old. Whenever he walks he can control his neck and walks and eats normally. But sometimes when I pick him up or when he is sleeping or stuff like that he tends to twist his neck. I thought this was wry neck but he only does it sometimes. I gave him a lot of vitamin e but that didnt seen to work. Any suggestions what can be wrong?
 
How much E and how long did you treat? Does the neck seem like a spasm? As long as it is usually normal, I probably wouldn’t worry too much. Usually for wry neck I would try vitamin E 400 IU daily polis a little bit of scrambled egg for a tiny bit of selenium. Silkies seem to be prone to wry neck.
