I decided to let my broody sit on some eggs

I hope your chicks survive!
I have not dealt with wry neck myself but this video might help you:

I love this lady’s YouTube channel!

Thanks

I hope so too, she’s starting to preen herself normally

Today she’s able to reach her toes with a straight neck though she still rests in a crooked position

What a great sling you have made for her! So glad she is making progress!

Thanks it took sooo many tries to get it right
She took her first independent feed nibbles just now

Got some polish chicks that I’m raising for a friend, these guys are so funky!
I’m hoping I can try integrate the younger chick when it’s a little older

I’ve noticed some of my older hens going broody and I decided to let one sit on the eggs to see what happens
I want to test out the genetics of my white barred cockerel out of curiosity, he is the only one mature enough to try and mount the hens yet
none of my hens have ever hatched eggs before so I’m also testing their mothering skills
I’m only setting a couple eggs to see if anything develops and just letting the natural process happen
Any advice for keeping hens broody?

Did you mark the eggs she is sitting on? It can be helpful in case someone else lays eggs in that nest. I am having that situation right now.

She was in a separate pen

My little healthy chick has black parts her feathers coming in, so not pure white, I’m very curious to see what colour she feathers in, I’m hoping she has some interesting lacing
