I have an Ameraucana that is approximately 5 months old. I have her in a pen with 7 others which includes a Rhode Island Red rooster, two hens almost two years of age and 4 others her age. She has been doing well sleeping on the roost in the coop since we put her and the others in the pen, but the last week or so she keeps falling off the roost. I have picked her up and put her away from all others yet she still falls off moments later. When she falls it starts flapping around and tilting her head very strangely as if she is having a small seizure or something. However, during the day she's fine, she runs around with the others and has no visible signs of problems. I've given up the last two nights and put her in a laying box for the night instead of having her continue falling and possibly be pooped on by the others. Even being in the laying box though, when I went out earlier she seemed to have a short seizure moment laying in the box. Has anyone ever heard of or seen this before and if so, know of suggestions to help get her back to normal? Thanks!
