I have 6 8wk old silkie chicks. Last Friday, I noticed one with its head between its legs.. Instantly thought wry neck.. Decided to bring it and one of the smaller weaker chicks into my house into a mini brooder. The other 4 are big and healthy and have no issues.
the silkie with the neck issue can eat and drink just fine. Normal poop. Walks great and can hold it's head up, then starts dragging a and shaking its head into the shavings. Occasionally it will sommersault. The 2 of them are having eye issues, they seal shut snd i then clean gently with a damp towel. i started giving poultry vitamins in their water, as most if what ive read had said to do so.
What is going on?
Wry neck in the one, or not?
I want to treat them, but there are so many different issues it could be :/
Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated
