Oh ok, thank you some much for explaining this to me!! I've always wondered why they didn't have most of the silkie qualities, i mean they aren't very show quality but still lol

They are beautiful

My wry necked lavender boy loves Selenium -lol. So does Sheldon Cooper on "Big Bang Theory". So, his name is now Sheldon. Sheldon Chicken Cooper.

Quote: Let me guess...you are having extra hot weather? Wry neck seems to come back with stress...at least if it was relatively recent (within the last 6 months). I have a "wryneck" pullet who is spending her summer inside in the air conditioning. She was all recovered for a good couple of months, then the heat hit and I almost lost her, and the wryneck came back full force. Two days inside and she was fine again. She just is not happy spending all her time in a bird cage.

Yes, that happens in hot weather. Any stress can cause wryneck to recur.

These come from Riverside Silkies, and they are B/B/S. How do you differentiate from blue and splash chicks?



Splash on left, blue on right.


Splash on right, blue on left.

Splash gallo chicklet, blonde human chicklet.

Too bad the little brat hid the egg on me, but I can tell because of the size of her vent.
