    Month-long Wryneck?

    About five months ago, our 5-month-old Croad Langshan rooster developed a case of what appeared to be wryneck. He had the classic neck twist/starry-eyed gaze and seems to be favoring one side of his body so that when he walked he leaned into one side more than the other. We brought him inside...
