I had always read about wry neck in chickens, and had thought that wry neck symptoms were pretty constant most of the time. Several months ago, I noticed my 6 year old rooster curling his neck under himself. He would,sleep that way, then wake up and jump doen from the roost. After that, I noticed that he would walk around normally, eating and pcking, and free ranging the yard. But he would just suddenly go to sleep, and then his neck would go down on the fround between his legs. He can lose his balance easily if I pick him up and place him in the coop.
I don’t know if it could be something similar with yours, but it comes and goes, and only seems to happen when he is sleeping or resting. I would give the vitamin E and B complex, and watch for further symptoms. Wry neck is usually a symptom of another problem as @Wyorp Rock described.
