    Wry neck 9 week old Brahma

    I took in a chick born on Easter who's head is hung down and twisted to the side. She lifts it enough to eat and drink, but her flock started picking on her. She came to me and I have her with a 3 week old chick. From what I've read it sounds like wry neck due to muscular strain while in the...

    Stevie has trouble with swallowing water and crumble/mash. Worms and scrambled eggs seem to go down fine. This doesn't look like wry neck that I have researched. It's as though the food gets caught. I'm not sure why he has trouble with water. I have been giving B complex. Any ideas on what may...
