My 12 week old silkie got jumped on by a bantam while she was eating. It caused her to get wry neck. Horrible to see. Didn’t even know what it was until I did some research. I am giving her water with vitamins and some crumble with unsweetened applesauce. We made her a c-collar. How much water should she be drinking? How much should she be eating? Of course she is my favorite do any advice is appreciated! She has pooped and she is very content to sleep in my arms.
 
I wish I could help you, right now I'm dealing with a chicken that was attacked this morning and she seems to have wry neck also. If you don't mind can you post a pic of her with the collar you made?
Is she drinking and eating on her own? Mine weighs about 5lbs and the advice I got was 60ml every 6-8 hrs. Can be given through out the day. I hope your girl gets better soon. I'm going to tag a few that may be able to help more.

24 hours after vitamin treatments she is better!!!!!!!! She was sleeping in my arms then suddenly woke up and lifted her head and looked at me. I took the collar off and she is able to control her neck!
 
Here is the collar we made for her.

I'm glad that she is doing better!
She may have been in shock. I would still give her the vitamins for another day or so.
Hopefully she makes a full recovery.
