My adult RIR just in the last week to ten days started twisting her neck around when I pick her up. She twists her neck so her head is all the way upside down but only when I hold her.

She walks straight but is now roosting and laying eggs on the floor of the coop. She seems bright and is eating. I free range my flock, so they eat lots of bugs and things plus I have layer crumbles down all the time and some scratch occasionally. They also get table scraps, watermelon, etc. The rest of my flock is fine. Any ideas?

Get the bird on some Thiamine (B1) that should help if its wry neck from a B1 deficiency.
