New chick running in circles

New chick constantly runs in circles. Stops to eat and drink and takes off again. Anyone ever heard of this? Just got em home today.

How old is she? I have heard of this happening with wry neck,keep an eye on her if she continually does this then i would look at starting wry neck treatment.

Just watch her,could be the fact that she is in a different environment,but if she continues this behavior or if she is having difficulties holding head up,start wry neck treatment. Here are some links explaining wry neck.

Thanks. When I pick her up I see not obvious deformities or neural impairments. Seems completely normal other then this running in circles thing. If she makes it at least she will have named herself! Lol. "Loopie"
