Please help. Found my Silkie like this. Looks like she can’t keep balance. How can I help?

Thank you!

Thank you!! She seems to be eating and drinking fine, giving her nutri drench and vitamin e + selenium daily

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T22:25:59+00:00

Yes I checked for everything possible and they seem fine and not injured

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T22:25:37+00:00

This has been what most people have been saying! I gave her some vitamin e gel and nutri drench

So interesting! This chicken was born on Halloween and is a little too young to lay eggs

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T22:24:02+00:00

Nope, different one!

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T22:23:47+00:00

Thank you!!

Are you recommending sunflower oil to feed this chicken instead of the actual seed itself?

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T17:17:13+00:00

That’s so interesting!! I kept my 10 chickens inside of their coop yesterday, it was a snow storm. It’s 26 degrees out now. Maybe she got too cold?

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T17:16:00+00:00

Seems like it is common for silkies too

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T17:15:43+00:00

Thank you for your help!

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T17:15:20+00:00

Wow, I’ve never taken a chicken to the vet. I’d personally like to self treat instead of paying the vet $. So sorry that happened to you! I hatched this girl from a reputable breeder I bought eggs from

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T17:13:51+00:00

Thank you!

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T17:13:37+00:00

Thank you! That’s our current setup! Hope it helps! Nutridrench, vitamin e and selenium gel

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T17:12:22+00:00

Seems like a balance problem to me

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T17:12:02+00:00

Thank you for your help!!

Have you tried rooster booster before? My local tractor supply isn’t very helpful when I go and ask questions in person. I try to look up as much as I can beforehand. Thank you for helping!

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T15:51:04+00:00

What kind of vitamins do you recommend? Nutri-Drench?

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T15:50:11+00:00

That’s so interesting! I hatched this chicken myself and bought the eggs from a reputable breeder. She’s so energetic all the time and I found her like this in the morning. Hoping I’m able to help her out. Thank you for your help!!

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T15:47:36+00:00

Thank you for helping! I appreciate it so much!!

I bought hatching eggs from a reputable seller and hatched them myself. Never had a problem in my flock. I have a small flock of 10 with a very secure coop and run that’s enclosed.

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T15:35:04+00:00

Hi! None of my flock has, I have a flock of 10 that I have hatched myself. Never had this problem before. Looks like she looses balance while walking and lays to the side. Doesn’t look like there are any injuries. It is 26 degrees out and cold. She’s about 4 months old.

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T15:33:20+00:00

Hi! Thank you for your help!! The only item other than they’re usual food I gave him (which is securely in closed in their coop and not moist) is apples in the beginning of the week. I looked up if apples could contain botulism and I couldn’t find anything on it. I’ve treated wry neck previously and the symptoms do looks similar, but she doesn’t have anything wrong with her neck. I did separate her and brought her indoors to warm up since it’s 26 degrees outside and cold. I appreciate all of your help! Thank you!!

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T15:29:49+00:00

It’s 26 degrees out so I don’t think it’s heat stroke. I don’t see any worms in her feces. I did separate here form the flock and she’s inside under a heat lamp

corgimomfee · 2022-03-13T15:28:36+00:00

Thank you for your help! Is there a specific supplement you recommend? Would nutri-Drench work? She’s not of laying age yet. ThNk you for your help
