I have a game pullet (or at least we think that is what she is, she was supposed to be rir). She is 5.5 months old. I went to let the chicks out to forage this morning and she wouldn't come out rught away. She would walk a step or teo forward then a bunch backwards. She finally came out and started foraging. I went tocheck on her a few minutes ago. She came up to me and was still doing the same thing. Should I be concerned. She is not lating yet. Some of the others just started last week. Thanks!
 
Keep a close watch on her and start her on vitamin E and B . this could be the beginning of wry neck
I just finished nursing my pullet for wry neck. She's 6 months old when it started she was walking backward and in circles. I didn't think much of it then she came down with full blown wry neck
So be aware. Might not be but it could be a sign. I'd start the vitamins just in case. It wouldn't hurt. Now Ikknow what to look for. About a week after mine was doing that the wry neck hit. Hopes this helps. Can't be positive but I'd start vitamins just in case.

I put electrolytes/vitamins mix in the water. I also scrambled her an egg and mixed it with kefir and garlic. I sure hope she is fine!
