Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

So for the chick that had wry neck, after about two weeks or so it should be good as new. My question is, once it becomes an adult, could this reoccur?

with the proper diet it will not reoccur. wry neck is just lack of vitamins. maybe your baby hatched out of a pullet's egg that didn't have enough yolk.

It's a possibility but seeing how well the baby is responding to vitamin treatment already I'd guess it was probably just deficient during development and with good nutrition may not have a reoccurrence.

Finally I have found my people!
I'm a small silkie breeder and here are my boys and girls. I've found the boys are absolute jerks and the girls are snobs. My roo will do anything for his girls though so at least he is a gentleman. I specialize in paints since they are so unique but I've gotten a suprise baby or 2 that I've kept since they are stunning. I show my birds at the fair and my roo was best in show 2021 very proud of him and excited to show his son too next year!

So I just noticed today, my little fluffy had eaten alot of food and their crops were bulging. I saw that the little chick who had wry neck, it's crop is on the left side of it's body not the right! I picked it up and felt it and it is the crop. What do ya'll think!

Also in regards to the little chick, how long do ya'll think I should continue giving it the medicine? I read somewhere that you are supposed to continue giving it the medicine for about two weeks after improvement. I plan on selling them so the sooner I'm able to the better. Thanks everyone!
