He seems to have been less sleepy and more alert the past couple days. He is eating and drinking more also, but he still is unable to move his toes on his right leg and wont put weight on it.

He will eat and drink some if I put it in front of him, probably not as much as he needs to, but he is at least still eating and drinking. Thank you for the help. We actually just made him a sling today to try.

He is around 7 or 8 months old. We were able to get rid of the lice and mites. We have been giving him Rooster Booster Poultry Cell for about 5 days now. We feed him an organic grower feed from a local mill.

My silkie Muffin had lice and mites. I am not sure how long he had them before I noticed. He was off balance and limping on his left leg. He is now not able to stand or walk. He can kick both legs and put weight on his left one. He won't push at all with his right one and doesn't move his toes...

Yeah, he seems to be normal besides his head tilting/losing balance

It is possible he could have hit his head on something. What did you do for your hen?

My Silkie Roo is shaking his head and tilting it to one side a little bit this morning and if he shakes his body, he loses balance. What could be wrong? He seems and looks normal otherwise.

I have a mixed flock of chickens: 1 1 1/2 year old Easter Egger Hen, 2 7 month old Barnyard Mix Pullets, 2 7 month old Silkie Pullets, 3 7 month old Satin Pullets, and 2 7 month old Silkie Roos. What is the best diet to feed them? I have read that Silkie's need at least 20% protein and am...

No improvement yet

I don't think there is any way he got into anything toxic. He stays in his enclosed pen at all times. He gets fresh food and water daily and we don't use any kind of weed killer or fertilizer.
