Silkie sitting with her head on the ground

[CluckmoreEstate]

I have two silkies who went broody a few weeks ago, however one for the last two weeks or so is resting her head on the ground (where as the other one sits there normally with her head up) even when we pick her up it seems like her head is hard for her to pick up and it stays down.
She's starting laying again, and will run around outside for a few minute once we pick her up and put her on the ground (usually her head goes back on the ground like she's falling but then when she starts walking/running she seems okay)- with her laying I thought she'd stop spending all her time in the nesting box but she just stays there all day with her head down

Is this normal/or is there something I should be doing for her?

Doesn't sound normal, because she's a silkie I'm thinking she has wry neck. I would get her some sav-a-chick or nutri drench. Could you post a picture of her?

Sounds just like my silkie that I’ve been treating for wry neck for almost a month now. There are YouTube videos on treating/feeding your bird that I found extremely helpful. Good luck.

She's starting laying again

So she sat on eggs for 2 weeks and is now laying again?

I agree, it is sounding like wet neck. I think riboflavin and selenium are good for that, but you’d probably want to search the forums to be sure. Slots of specific dosing info available.
