    Wry Neck in a Chick

    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...

    Wry Neck Trouble

    So, one of my Easter Eggers has wry neck. I've been treating her for two weeks.

    vit E dosage for wry neck?

    We were given an 8 week old pullet who seems to have wry neck. Her neck is twisted a bit and she can't stand up.
