and hello from up north in Forks WA!

I know I started this forum with an emergency. . . I'm sure you'll have loads of help, but I personally am always afraid to go to that section anymore.

Hi fellow Oregonian!
... um, WRYNECK? I don't know... I've heard that chickens can get this and if I remember correctly, I THINK it's a mineral deficiency???

the cool thing is, you're close to a big metro area, and there's sure to be some good vets that can help with info & treatments...
I wish you all the best luck getting your little darling feeling better!
