Hi all!
New to duck ownership and only 3w in I’ve already come across something that isn’t in my books or rather could be several things.
Our silver appleyards (heavy sort, not miniature) we’re brought in at about 8w old, and have been doing fine on Heygates duck/goose pellets (17% protein)...
Urgent help needed: this is a 12 week old Easter egger. No known symptoms before, the morning I let all the chickens out, this one looked like her wing was lopsided. She was lethargic and sleepy as well. Her poops up until today have looked solid, normal, with no worms in site. Today, it was...
Hatched on Monday, received on Tuesday. Had been in a seperate brooder now for 24 hrs with a friend. Won’t eat or drink on it own. But happily drinks till slurry if I hold the cap with it in front of her. Won’t peck ate anything to eat. Stumbles and walks backwards. Now all bloated under...
Indian runner duckling hatched less than 12 hours ago and keeps throwing her head back so much that she flips herself over onto her back. I flip her back and she immediately throws herself back again. I'm 99% sure is Wry neck. What supplements should I give her? I've read niacin, thiamine...
I feel as if I've exhausted all other resources for a chick I have that is not doing well, and desperately hope someone can help here.
I have a white crested black polish chick that is about 10 weeks old now. I got her from Hoovers Hatchery with 4 other polish varieties and some orpingtons. 2...
I have some chicks that I am currently treating for coccidia as I found that they had some bloody poop. They range 3-5 weeks old and seem to be doing better on the amprolium treatment. I did notice on day two that my frizzle silkie had developed wry neck. Could this be from me treating with...
Hello, @TudyBOT! I just got 8 ameraucana chicks, they are about 2 days old. One of them eats and pecks around normally, but when it goes to drink, it tilts its head way far back and falls over almost every time. I looked it up and a few different things said it could be wry neck, but the...
I just got 8 ameraucana chicks, they are about 2 days old. One of them (the lightest gray in the pictures) eats and pecks around normally, but when it goes to drink, it tilts its head way far back and falls over almost every time. I looked it up and a few different things said it could be wry...
I'm really hoping somebody can help me solve the mystery of what's going on with my little silkie. She developed wry neck symptoms at 27 weeks. It was mild thankfully, but she had the classic dropping of the head. I brought her inside with my other silkie hen, because they get along very well...
We received 17 chicks (9 Buff and 8 Lavender Orpingtons) on Friday afternoon, by Saturday morning, it was apparent that one of them wasn't quite right. All the signs of torticollis, easy enough - Segregate, Nutri-Drench, Vitamin-E, B-Complex, Selenium - done. After a day, there were...
I have a 3 day old silkie whose neck is severely twisted. My question is about what vitamins to give.
I am giving vitamin e capsules 400iu about 2 capsules per day. A few drops of straight poultry cell undiluted. And a liquidy mash of her food, water, and a little of the above vitamins (...
This is Miracle when she(or he) was getting better, her feathers fuller and able to stand and starting to be able to eat on her own.
She had a rough hatch where you can see her trying to come out of her shell for 24 hours about 2-3 days after the other chicks hatched in the incubator. They...
In your opinion, how long would you give a chicken with wry neck before giving up?
Im running out of hope and things to try. I haven’t noticed any improvements. I’ve been helping her for 20 days now and I don’t think it’s a vitamin deficiency anymore.
My quail recently got in an accident and hit her head off the floor causing her to get a wry neck. I am so worried. But now she's gone worse. I've been feeding her and helping her drink but now she refuses to eat and drink. She also cannot walk which I found very sad and researched it online...
Hi.
Two weeks ago I posted about a salmon faverolle of mine “fluffy” that started walking backwards, drunken, flapping wings, trunk head sideways. I’ve tried most everything from antibiotics and probiotics, to vitamin B selenium and vitamin E supplementation. I’m giving up now and I think I...
Hi all,
I have a buff Orpington hen with wry neck. She’s under two years old and slowly it’s gotten worse, so I’ve isolated her from the other hens in a dog crate with water, food and I’ve been feeding her egg and sunflower seeds mixed together with vitamin E supplement.
Right now it is...
I have a silkie who has been inside for a while now. She needed some major TLC and time to regrow her feathers. Her feathers have come in really nicely (she had lost almost all of them). Over the course of her time inside, she went broody and now we have a chick. I wanted to move her outside a...
Symptoms
My barred rock pullet was 9 days old when I noticed that something was wrong. Her little neck had begun to twist back and upwards, leaving her fighting to stand upright, and forcing her head slowly and mercilessly around until her throat faced the sky. It didn’t happen all at once, but...
