Hello everyone, this morning I noticed this chick's odd behavior and I'm not really sure what it is.
They don't seem off balance and they're eating and drinking. I added some vitamins to their water but I'm just a little worried about what it could be.
The video can't be posted here for some...
Today I noticed one of my 4-week-old broiler chicks had a wry neck. He didn’t seem to eat or drink until I checked a couple hours later after the discovery. I hand-fed and hand-drank him and he immediately seemed a little better. I watched him go to the feeders and feed. His neck will go limp...
Hello y'all,
Well, it's been awhile since I've had to post, which is a good thing, but I do have a situation that I'm needing some advice/input on. I added some new roosters to my flock a few days ago, and I have the new ones all in the same pen together. I will add that I got all (3)...
This is my second post here, but I need help. I have two ducks in my care, one of them is a Welsh Harlequin (don’t know official gender yet, but maybe male? We still call her Elphie) Both of them are about a month and a half old now, I got them back in July 27th. About a couple weeks ago, I...
Hi,
This is my little hen ‘twisty’ named due to her wry neck.
It’s 17 weeks since hatch, and although she didn’t have the wry neck initially she developed it within the first month. She was getting on with everyone and eating, drinking & perching with all of the other hens until this week...
This was taken July 17th
And this was her today (July 26th)
She’s looking a lot better and has opened her eye a little and from what I can see it isn’t damaged
For those who don’t know she was attacked by a raccoon that damaged the right side of her face and got wry neck because of it
Hello I need some help determining how much to feed our little one (6 weeks old) with wry neck. Right now we do have to feed her by syringe since she won't eat much by herself so we have been giving her 1cc of rooster booster and an egg yolk or two via syringe. Is that enough she's a jersey...
I couldn't upload a video, so I made a gif of a recording from my quail pen. The lighter dirty cream quail is the focus. Does she have wry neck or an injury? I bought her from a craiglist ad about a month ago. I only have 1 male quail in the pen who does mount the girls. Maybe he mounted her too...
My little gander has had something like a consistent buldge on the side of his neck. I thought it was fat or muscle but I touched it (he didn't like that) and it's hard and feels like vertebrae
He can do everything fine and doesn't seem to be in too much pain except if I touch it. He has taken...
At 3 weeks old, One out of nine (home hatched)silkie chicks started doing this weird thing with its head, shaking its head and neck, twisting around upside down and sideways. For the past four weeks I have been treating it for wry neck.. zero sign of improvement. I’ve done selenium with e, e...
Has anyone had any issues with vitamin deficiency or any illnesses related to CO-OP starter grower feed? I have sick chickens and I’m trying to rule out all causes. I had baby chicks get wry neck… once I changed their feed and supplemented vitamins they got better. I didn’t want the feed to go...
I’ve been battling sick baby chicks and now my pullets are getting sick too. First I had chicks that had wry neck. I thought it was a vitamin deficiency so I do them up on vitamin e, selenium, b1, nutri drenched and electrolytes. Those chicks are 100% better now. I started with respiratory...
At what point does wry neck, likely caused by an injury, become irreversible? We discovered our silkie in this condition early today. We've been giving her vitamin E and egg, but she's immobile, lying on her side, kicking in the air, with her eyes fluttering and neck curled under. When we hold...
Good morning everyone.
I started incubating duck eggs for the first time 26 days ago.
My first duck was born in day 24 and the second in day 25 im still waiting for more of them to hatch.
But the second born duck has apparently some neck problem and cant put his head straight, he also walks...
I had to treat my chicks this year with Corid twice, within a couple weeks. All seemed fine after the second round. A few days ago, one of my older hens found her way into the baby chick pen and terrorized the now 6-7 week old babies. The next day, I realized my silkie had wry neck. I have no...
My 3 week old chick has been turning its head to the right. It is still eating drinking and running around normal. He can even turn its neck around the opposite way to nibble its feathers but there is a definite bend to the right at all times. This has been going on for a week. I’ve been...
My silkie D’uccle mix has started circling repeatedly at times, and seems to be turning her head and tail at odd angles. Her appetite hasn’t let up and she has no trouble eating. Has anyone seen this behaviors before? Should I be concerned? And if so, what should I do about it?
Hi everyone. For almost 2 months now, my rooster has been suffering from wry neck and weak legs. He also has a breathing issue.. if he stumbles even a little bit, he starts breathing heavily. His nose sounds completely stuffed. He head is almost down to the floor the entire time he is standing...
I have a 9 week old silkie chick with terrible wry neck.
Ive been doing the typical vitamin treatments for about 6 days and antibiotics for 3 days. This poor chick is not getting better. It has moments where it can stand upright and walk around, but if it tried to drink on its own its neck get...
Help!!
Went to put the birds away and found this gosling laying in the yard not doing too well. He/she has perked up a tiny bit after putting her under the heat lamp for a little while....but still can't lift its head and has a messy rear end.
Is this wry neck?? I tried holding her head to...
