Help, chicken has droopy head

[Losthorizons]

This hen is about 7 months old and was doing fine before this - I looked up wry neck, and it didn't really sound like what she has, but I'm definitely not an expert. I appreciate your help with this.

At the time the B12 was all I had on hand. I did already feed her some egg and yogurt and that seemed to help, and I have some vitamin E and some of the foods you have listed, so I will give that to her also.

I feed them poultry layer feed and I give them chicken snacks occasionally - I also give them some of our leftover fruits and vegetables - how often should i feed them these types of things? I'm just trying to figure out how to keep them from being deficient in what they are eating. I'm still learning.

Agreed. Thanks for pointing that out. I knew the pits were toxic, but better be safe to avoid it altogether.
Losthorizons, try to feed a balanced chicken feed as 90% of their diet.

I've read a lot of conflicting info. Most say avocado pits and skins, while others say the whole avocado. Agreed to just avoid them altogether; it's just not worth the risk.
