Wry Neck Adult Silkie Hen - Vitamin regimen failing!

[Avan]

7 months old. Sudden onset (normal in the morning, twisted neck by night). Day 3 of Vitamin E and selenium (egg white) regimen with no improvement. She's actually degraded to not be able to peck. (Days 1-2 she would peck her food if I held her still). Dribbling water (with GI Soother herbs) several times daily with the vitamin regimen.

Wry neck needs B complex vitamins, not just vit E. Also it can take weeks to see improvement.

Are you also giving b complex with the vitamins ?

I would skip the egg whites and do the yolk. And you might consider getting eggs from somewhere else to give her because if there's a nutrition deficiency, it probably affects your whole flock. (Just in case you were using your flock's eggs for her.)

Plus the b vitamins. It's hard to over do a b complex from what I've read. Chickens also pee out excess, like us.

The egg yolk has most of the vitamins. I usually give scrambled egg for selenium. Human super B complex 1/4 tablet, vitamin E 400 IU, and a bit of scrambled egg daily for several weeks is what I would do. Feed her mushy chicken feed and egg with a lot of water 2-3 times daily, since she may not be able to feed herself. Was she vaccinated for Mareks disease?
