I have a black 2 month old silkie who has been the alpha chick in a group of 4. Very healthy, plump, adult feathers coming in nicely, active, etc. I have been letting the chickens outside in the backyard since here in GA it's been in the 80's. Everyday I take their cage outside, open the door and they run out. They peck at the ground, grass, bugs...everything you expect a chick would do. Today when I cleaned their cage and brought them back inside I noticed the black silkie with his head kind of twisted looking at me in a curious way. I didn't think much about it. He was moving and getting around the cage. When my husband came home from work he said have you noticed how "Darkness" is turning his head all the way around? I said yeah he looked at my kind of weird today. Then as we watched them in the cage he was laying down and one of the white silkies went over to him and nugged him. He started flopping around and backing up weirdly and his head was all twisted backwards and he couldn't stand. His legs were splayed out and he was breathing faster. What the heck could of happened to him/her? Thank you.
