One of my hens occasionally is walking in a funny way. Instead of going in a straight line to a spot ahead of her - she seems to tilt her body and her head and go in a half circle , always arcing to the left. She still ends up at the spot ahead of her, but she seems to be walking in a half circle. Sounds weird, hope this makes sense ...does anyone have any similar experience, or know we get this could mean? Thank you!
 
It may be a form of wry neck or torticolis. I had a rooster with this mild form. He was backing up with his head tucked into his chest. I treated him with vitamin E 400iu and a sliver of selenium. Although he recovered in just two days, I continued the E and selenium for another couple days.
