I get so frustrated why there isn't anything going on in Northern VA it's not worth a three hour drive one way but I want to come so back ugh

There are lots of different poultry within a 2 hour drive from me, North, South, East or West. I can get anything I want shipped in from BIG names in their fields. No way am I driving to a chicken swap more than 2 hours from me. For me, It is just rediculus to drive 5 hours there and 5 hours back again. How many times I have heard at local swaps that they went, bought and later reqretted. They some how felt presured to buy. They went the distance and by golly they were going to buy! They brought cages with them and everything. But could not wait to get around to the local swaps to get rid of what they got stuck with. My usual reply, tough luck, I dont want that.

I believe there is a big poultry auction up close to Va wva line that would be closer to washington area - I think I saw it on Poultry Show central http://www.poultryshowcentral.com search VA
I was trying to find auction to take Delaware culls to.

I will be at the Ridgeway/Martinsville TSC giving away free English Orpington Chicks and free Ameraucana chicks and selling some parent pairs also.

Help please! I tried to post this in the Diseases/emergency forum, but it did not post for some reason.

So......Our three year old rooster kind of staggered out of the coop yesterday, holding his head side ways. By the afternoon, his head tilt was more pronounced, though he no longer staggered (he must have adapted to it). I gave him and the hens yogurt (primarily to address vent gleet in a hen).

By the evening, his head was completely turned around and upside down (kind of the rooster equivalent of the exorcist). We placed him in a nest box for the night. This morning, I gently straightened his head, and he ate more yogurt. About an hour later, he was out walking normally, and crowing.

Any idea what this is? I am terrified that it might be Marek's. We have 8 other apparently healthy hens (aside from one with what looks like vent gleet), and nine two week old chicks being raised by a hen.

Advice appreciated. TIA.
