Hiya, Richard, and welcome to BYC!

If you can't get a picture right now, look up wry neck.

That's what that probably is. It's usually treatable with a whole Vit E and scrambled eggs twice a day for a couple of weeks, maybe longer depending.

Welcome to BYC! Nice to meet you, we're glad you joined us.
A picture of the bird in question would help. I do think it sounds like wry neck the way you described it.

Hello, Richard, and welcome to the BYC community. Can you post a picture of the bird?

Happy to - I am including some pics of the coup too. I am feeding vit e rich foods such as chard and sunflower seeds. I will scramble some eggs too in case its Wry Neck. Thanks in advance

Hi Richard, check out this article from the Learning Center to see if this helps with identifying and treating: Wry neck -causes, treatment and prevention

Good luck!
