I am a new mom to 6 chicks, about 5 weeks old. I noticed one of my Rhode Is. reds has always had a slight tilt to her head to the side , like maybe a vision issue? But has not seemed to be a bother. I noticed for the past few days she has been curling her head down and into her breast, swiping her face side to side as though she is wiping off her face. She is bending over very far and now is walking backwards around the brooder doing this as if she is trying to get something off of her chest or face. She is backing herself into the wall and literally doing somersaults she is bent so far forward. Her crop seems to be emptying fine and she seems to be eating and drinking well, have not seen her droppings yet as we have several ladies. I don't see any missing feathers. I am so confused as to what could be the issue as she seems to be healthy in every other aspect. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Please help! I don't want to lose my girl!
