Is this Wryneck and will it ever go away?

[Chickedee]

Hello all! My 6 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte developed what I think is Wryneck about 2-3 weeks ago. At first I thought her feathers just weren't coming in evenly until it got worse. I started her on Poultry Nutri-drench a week ago, but haven't noticed any improvements. She eats, drinks and acts normally other than her crooked neck. Do I need to be giving her brewer's yeast or something with B vitamins as well? I'm wondering if it will it ever go away if it turns out to be from a head injury or genetics and not

caused by a vitamin deficiency? Do I need to be worried about Marek's or something else more serious? My 10 other birds the same age are completely healthy.

That isn't like wry neck I have seen... Could still be it.

Oh, and a heads up; your 'girl' is a boy.

I have encountered this with a few birds, they showed little to none improvement after administering vitamins specifically thiamine and E for a few weeks. At least in my case, I believe it was genetic.

Thanks for your reply OneHappyRooster! If it’s something other than wryneck, that would explain why the vitamins aren’t helping. Also, dang it on the cockerel. I’m interested how you picked up that she might be a he. Feather shape, Comb?

Interesting Isaac. Thanks for the info! Did the birds end up dying or just living with the deformity? Hoping it’s the latter...
