here a link to some video footage I took of him today. I thought it would be a better way to show what he is doing. He's still twisting his neck, but he does appear to be a little better. He is eating still, poopling normal, no drainage for ears, eyes or nose.

Continuing with 1 vit e capsule daily
chick electrolyte and vitamin supplement in water
using supllement water to water down 2/3 chick crumble 1/3 calf manna feed
1 mg prednisone

From everything I have read about wry neck it isn't something that corrects itself over night. If you are seeing some improvement then thats a step in the right direction, plus he's eating drinking and pooping normally. He is very handsome fellow and I hope he continues to progress towards wellness. Hopefully someone who has had this in the chickens before will weigh in soon. All the Best.

Hows your rooster this morning?

 

[faykokoWV]

about the same as yesterday. Didn't seem like he ate quite as much this morning. Comb and wattles still good color and don't appear dehydrated. Still normal poo, no drainage anywhere.
