Yep, thanks! Silkie Sue posted it and it was about her cockeral , who turned out to have wry neck. She would have posted that she thought her rooster was having seizures. In the end, shenamed him Lucky.

I use Premier One's electric poultry netting, and have used it for 4 years. Love it!!! I move it every two or three days, less when they are younger, more when they get bigger (and poo more) I have a shelter inside the netting that they use at night time, and to get out of the elements.
