Pamela sent me a photo of her new chicken.  This is very strange!!!

What do you think is the matter with it?  We have a turkey that was very badly pecked around the neck, and I think it may have done something to some tendons or whatever, and it's also brain damaged, being even more dense than the other turkeys!  Do you think this could be a similar problem???



Poor little thing.  Pamela says, she is eating and drinking normally, just looks like Rod Hulls Emu.  She can hold her neck ok, but she just puts it right back and kind of freezes.  Any ideas, gratefully received!!!

My guess would be a neurological problem.

Second thoughts, it could be Vit E deficiency

I'll see if I can find some info

Karl thinks it may be a dislocated neck. Perhaps it was caught in fencing or netting?? If that is the case...then it's goodnight vienna

Looks like a neurological disorder. Whether it gets worse would depend on cause, I would add a good multivit to their water in case she is deficent in vits. Perhaps a drop of wheat germ oil?

I'm trying to delete this post as Pamela has put one onherself minus the photo!!!!!  Please can I ask anyone to re-post onto Pamela post?    thanks, and I don't think it's dislocated, wouldn't it be in pain or not able to hold its neck normally???
