One of my teenage Polish hens (about three months old) went from being lively and jumping to being curled up on the ground as if sleeping, but her neck and head is twisted up underneath her breast and she's jerking his head side to side. I've picked her up and tried to straighten her out, but her head keeps curling back under and she's barely moving other than the jerking motion of her head. It's almost like she's having a seizure of some kind, but it's just her head and neck moving. What is wrong with her? This happened within the last 8 hours since this morning she and the others all appeared to move just fine.
I'm going to go and try and get a picture or video of her. Right now I've quarantined her away from the rest of the chickens she's penned with in case this is something contagious (though if it is, it may be too late, and hopefully it's something treatable).
Extra info. I don't think it's Marek's as I paid to have all my birds vaccinated when I purchased them. i know there's still a small chance, but is there anything else it might be?
