Did I hurt Goose's neck?

[BirdGuy2018]

HI there -

So I had 2 geese then last year they managed to get a couple eggs to hatch before I snatched them up and now I have 2 ganders.... *sigh*
The youngster, Junior, is going through his first mating season, and has fought with dad a number of times while I have evolved ways to keep them separated that work the best.

Also, on occasion--such as when they got in the coop with the chickens--I have out of convenience grabbed them by low on the neck and fairly gently (I thought) pulled them forward until I could grab them by bodies to lift them up and remove.

But I recently noticed a slight "kink" in Junior's neck. Also his dad's. It is near or closer to the base of his neck. So, instead of a nice curve, sometimes I will see this little pivot spot. I don't know squat about goose physiology, but suspect they have something analogous to discs and maybe one got prolapsed? Is that a thing? Does not seem to cause discomfort, and is able to use neck normally. But, besides me not grabbing by neck at all anymore, I feel terrible. I guess am hoping this slight kink is normal for ganders or that it sometimes happens from fighting? But also am wondering if anything I need to do or could do to maybe help restore it?

Thanks in advance,

Richard

I know nothing about geese, so it would be good to post here on the goose forum as well:

In other poultry is wry neck or torticolis is suspected, human vitamin E 400 IU can be given with a little scrambled egg daily for selenium.

Yeah, have not been able to find info on Wry Neck. Thanks for link to goose forum.
