I have a hen that is a couple years old. Rescued/adopted from an animal sanctuary near me.
In the mornings, when she comes out of her coop, I notice her body pulling to the right and left while her head stays in place. It happens repeatedly. She isn't doing it all the time. Her neck doesn't fall like with Wry Neck... Her head stays sort of in one spot and her body pulls and she goes to the left, then to the right over and over. Almost like she's dancing while trying to focus on something.
This has been going on for at least a month or so but it has seemed to go away at times. Is this wry neck? When I look it up, it doesn't look exactly like that.
Extra Info. She has had feather loss that we cannot resolve and believe it is due to her being at the bottom of the pecking order/getting pecked at. She has been to vet twice, no mites and treated for worms that was resolved. This chicken is pitiful. I don't know how to help her.
