8 week old silkie I hatched from a breeder’s egg. It has suffered from wry neck off and one for a month. It is eating and drinking and tolerating vitamin E. She will get better and then worse and I haven’t stopped treatment. See video. Her neck is very long.
This morning her eye is swollen shut from being in shavings. My plan is to gently clean with warm water and put her back with no shavings on coop floor. She is with the chicks she grew up with in a separate pen and they do not bully her, hurt her, and allow her to eat. I am debating complete separation because I think she needs others to fight.
Here is how I treat:
400 mu human vitamin E gel caps with selenium daily. I open her beak and apply the gel directly.
Poultry cell drench directly by dipping her beak.
I ordered the goat E in the syringe to make it easier because the pills are sticky.
What else can I do? I tried to keep her head up on a towel, box, etc. but she gets scared and doesn’t want to stay in the position. I am so sad that nothing seems to get rid of this.
