Urgent help needed: this is a 12 week old Easter egger. No known symptoms before, the morning I let all the chickens out, this one looked like her wing was lopsided. She was lethargic and sleepy as well. Her poops up until today have looked solid, normal, with no worms in site. Today, it was kind of muddy black. Yesterday, I found her asleep with her neck turned upside down. A local chicken keeper told me to begin wry neck vitamin treatment. This is a day after I started giving her: 50 mcg of selenium, 1 vitamin e capsule (I cut it upon and mixed in water), and a half a vitamin b complex tablet. When we gave her a warm water bath today, I think this is her neck bone that’s protruding from her chest a bit. Yesterday she was able to walk kind of stumbling and drunk, now she doesn’t want to walk at all and the video shows what happens when she does sit up and can’t keep balance. She was put back in her chicken hospital cage and flailed around chirping trying to get balance but couldn’t, and now she’s sleeping. I do see her getting water and pecking at her food a bit, but not as much as normal. What is this? Is it wry neck? Is it mareks? Is it some other disease I don’t know about? @Wyorp Rock
This is the same chicken I had messaged you about before and you gave me great advice. Just not sure what I’m looking at here. Link to video I uploaded of how she kind of has no balance or energy.
