Young chicken with injured neck

[Whitney Davis]

I have a mini farm, if you will, with ducks, geese and chickens. I have 3 little hens (around 3 months), 6 older hens (around 7 months), and 2 roosters (around 6 months). I came out to the coop one morning and one of my baby chickens was lying on the ground with her neck/head completely under her body and she couldn't pick it up. I picked her up and helped her get her head right and she seemed fine, so I put her down and she took off. It's been about a month now and it's happened a few more times since then. I separated the 3 little ones at night and its still continuing to happen. She keeps up with her flock and eats and drinks normal. I think one of my roosters tried to get on her and he hurt her neck and that's what caused the injury. Im not sure what to do for her and I don't want it to get worse. Any advice on what i could do for her neck? It doesn't seem to really HURT her, it just seems like she's uncomfortable and her neck is totally bent under her body to the right. It's horrible and i feel so bad for her.

Pleaae look up wry neck and add vitamins and electrolytes to her water. I think riboflavin is the critical one for wry neck, but am not sure. Good luck!
