Hey Guys,
So this one bird of mine has wry neck, I believe. I went out to feed them today, and it looks hunchback and like it’s head is on sideways.
it’s about 3-4 weeks old, and was part of a hatch of shipped Eggs that were kind of crummy.
I gave the batch of them scrambled egg and added kickin chicken supplement to their feed. But I’m wondering—if it gets better, should I breed this one?
I’ve seen comments elsewhere on BYC saying not to breed birds that have had wry neck, because a propensity for it is genetic.
But...in a 3 week old chick, would you say that’s overwhelmingly true?
Also—the other chicks can’t catch it, right?
