Hello,
I’ve been reading previous posts about wry neck symptoms and am wondering if my year old Silkie rooster might have the condition. Can their neck also go down between the legs? I noticed my rooster was acting off starting a few weeks back. He would put his head down and act like he was frantically itching something on his chest. Then he’d lose his balance and fall over but then get right back up. I thought maybe he has mites but can’t see any on him and the other chickens in the coop aren’t showing signs of having mites. He’s eating and drinking ok. I’ve separated him and am keeping an eye on him making sure he doesn’t get picked on. Could he possibly have something stuck in his crop? And would he still be able to eat if so? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I took a video of him but not sure if I can upload it here? It seems it’s only photos?
