    I have a barred rock named Mayflower and the poor girl has wry neck (I think). She is about 24 weeks old and her neck is a bit crooked. I'm concerned because I know it can cause severe problems and even death. She isn't laying yet, and we don't plan on breeding her. I have her on some vitamin suppliments that the local feed store recommended and she seems to be getting around fine. She seems comfortable and active. I was just wondering if any of you have any experience with this condition and may be able to provide me with some advice. Thanks.

    Post the problem here in the disease section, after reading this thread about providing sufficient information.
    Best of Luck.
