HELP! My new white Cochin, it's neck is moving oddly.

Hi,

My new white cochin that I received today has a weird neck, it moves like a mexican wave, it seems strange, she dosen't make any noises, but could it had been a bit of grit or something that got stuck in her neck? I'll check tomorrow if anything has happened, I am sure it is not Gapeworm, any suggestions what to do?


Thanks, Rob

I don't know what a Mexican wave is, but how is your chicken today? Did it go away?

Does her mouth open at the same time? Could she be yawning?

Its kinda gone! Its like a snake head, its basically when she looks around.. I don't see it anymore..
But you know what it is?

You might want to research wry neck or crook neck. I am assuming she was shipped from your post. Let us know what you come up with.

Brought her from a poultry place, with 2 others, she is okay now actually, Its just that I don't want her to be bad again..

I was worried about wry neck (crookneck). But if it is just poof- gone- then that probably wasn't what it was-

still might want to give them some poly-vi-sol w/o iron for a while just to be safe... Glad to hear she is okay.

Thank you all for the help! She is doing great! Look at her and her two mates

Sorry for that being sidwards! iPhones eh?

Haha! I put three mates instead of two!

Do these chucks look about 6-8 weeks old? The breeder said they was!

I think they look older?
