8) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? nothing
9 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet? vet is sort of out of the question, ours is very expensive. i would like to home treatment to her.

11) Describe the housing/bedding in use she is currently with the others, but seperating herself. just checked on her. she seems to be getting worse. this is all so sudden for her.
i have searched on line about possibly rye neck? not sure if this is what she might have. any feedback is appriciated. thank you very much. i have also used the search engine her on byc but its not user friendly in my opioion. i have seen a thread on a similar issue. but unable to locate it.
