UPDATE-- WRY NECK-- Svart Pullet Having Seizures-- Please Help!!

I am not sure HOW I am suppose to make them EVER be OUTSIDE birds at this point. I am already prepared to make Minion a house hen (thought June Bug might would be a house hen since I thought she would be disabled but she seems good for now), but now they are all pretty spoiled... I had thought I would sell or give some of them away and keep just one or two but I am having problems even THINKING about doing that to my babies... :(
 
How old are they? At around 6 weeks, if the temps outside are ok, they should be able to be moved outside (after being weaned from the heat lamp). I don't know what to tell you to do about Minion, but she looks like she's getting around as well as ours was... so maybe she could go outside too, just with a little extra attention?
 
They will be three weeks tomorrow. Here they are minus Minion. He/she is not much bigger than he was when he was born. :( I will have to try and get a pic of Minion with his littermates, they just were too active when I tried earlier.

The one Paint silkie with the black spot is Miss Vaultie (as she has a vaulted head). Her wings look weird in a cute way but I don't know if they are supposed to look that way. Are they defective?

Are you talking about the one on the left or the right? I can't really tell a difference between them... that said, silkies aren't really flyers anyway. Like, they can't even fly on to the perch by themselves-- their wings just aren't built for it.
