Help! Chicken spinning head, flying into things, etc

[eguiney]

Thanks so much for all the advice. We ended up rehoming the bully chicken (something we’d been considering for a while - she’s happy in a neighbor’s flock where she’s not top of the pecking order) and supplementing assuming it’s wry neck. She is certainly not well still, but she’s not running into things and spinning in circles so...improvement? I notice her eyes are closed a lot and she has awful balance (she can’t always make it up the steep ramp into the coop) and I’m wondering if chickens can go blind? I haven’t seen any connection between blindness and her other symptoms. We’ll keep supplementing as long as she seems happy and isn’t getting worse.
