Help im a new chicken mum, I collected 3 beautiful hens last weekend at (8-12 weeks old). All seemed healthy at the time. One originally had a slight overgrown beak which I've since trimmed back but I've noticed as the days have gone by she has a slight head tilt made really obvious when you pick her up and her crop is full. It's not as noticeable when she's going about her daily business wondering around.

She is fine in herself, very happy and likes her food. I'm just worried if there's something wrong, will she get worse or is it just the way she is disigned.

She is a real sweetheart.

Any thoughts please, if its a deficiency Of some kind please advice what I can do.

Welcome to BYC. If would really help if we could see a photo of what she looks like with the head tilt. Have you checked her ears to see if she has any problem or parasites?
