They were probably snuggling

Got lazy, didn't want to drive out of town for the normal feed I get at a local mill. Bought feather fixer feed at TSC. Almost to the end of the bag and one of my game pullets now has crookneck. I syringed her rooster booster and water. She can still hold her head up somewhat, but it almost looks like a candy cane and her head shakes. What else can I do for her? Other than the crock pot.

What is crookneck

 

[ameliadanielle]

Wry neck. Usually chicks get it. Rare in adult chickens. Caused by vitamin deficiency, trauma, or botchulism, probably a few other causes too. I can't think of anything that could have caused it except the shitty feed from TSC I bought.

 

[ameliadanielle]

I've never had to deal with it really. Only saw it in a chick once. She was normal yesterday and this morning. This afternoon, couldn't even drink by herself. If the vitamins don't work in a day or so or she gets worse, I will just cull her.

If it was the feed alone I would think you'd have more birds with problems.
