well - I am not sure, but if she caught her neck in the chicken wire and there are no cuts or gashes, she may have just sprained it? If you have a way to seperate her from the others like a dog crate or something, you might try that for a few days to let her rest without having to run around and you would be able to keep a closer eye on her.

I am not an expert but if no one else replies, that is what I would do. Hope she gets better.
