Wry neck in hen getting worse?

@Wyorp Rock @FarmerGirl101
Thanks for the info cus I wasn't sure what to expect. I'll keep her going on the vitamins and like I said, her head only gets bad when I'm holding her but otherwise she's okay.
This is her from today

Just went through this with a hen....it does get worse before it gets better and, yes, as they improve activity like being picked up (or stressed/startled) can certainly bring on a spasm. Keep at it, improvement can seem unbearably slow, but my girl is transitioning back to the flock this week, and started laying again yesterday....around 3 weeks from onset of symptoms. We initially had to tube feed for a week as she was not able to eat or drink sufficiently to keep her alive while the treatment was given a chance

I just wanted to update you guys about Meggy the leghorn. . . She isn't turning her head upside down anymore even when I pick her up. I've stopped with the selenium and been keeping up with the vitamin e and poulty drench. She's still really jumpy and likes to fly around. When she lays her head down she keeps it even and not laying it on one side. I didn't think she'd get better but she is. Thank you all for the advice!
