7 week old Speckled Sussex, think it has a neck or head injury

OK, will watch her but I stuck the pet carrier next to the other chickens and within an hour she was wanting to go back to her flock. Head held high. Fed them and she ate as voraciously as the rest. Now it's hard to tell which one was sick.

She did not poop except once all day during her isolation. Right before she became active again she pooped quite a bit. Nothing unusual, a little dark maybe.
 
Morning update: left the pullet with her flock mates last night, checked earliest thing this morning just after sunrise and all is well! No signs of whatever was going down with her yesterday.

Since the very first thing I did was treat her with undiluted Corid yesterday, I decided to dose the whole flock with Corid in their water at 2 tsp/gallon starting last night. No idea if that was it or maybe she was just having a very bad day. Again, maybe she did hurt her neck and it took most of the day to recover? Who knows but as of this morning all seems well.
 
Just another update: all is well.

Reminds me of one of my cats years ago. He looked really sick and I was on the verge of taking him to the vet but thought to myself "how often do I get sick for a day or two?" (well, actually not that often but...). The cat was fine the next day and it seems the pullet is the same, even after less than a whole day.

But it did seem serious at first!
