Thank you! So glad I have vitamin E capsules, selenium and some poly-vi-sol already on hand. She's had two doses already. Fingers crossed.

First time chicken mama here. I previously posted about a barred rock chick who exhibited signs of wry neck but ultimately didn't improve after weeks of treatment (ultimately, her neck grew at an odd angle and we chose to cull her). Then today I noticed my almost 6-week-old RIR was sleeping...
