Age? Diet?
Where did you get it? What is it aviary like?

I think that they should be eating gamebird feed.
I tagged people more familiar than me that cam help.you.

Can you post pics of the bird, it's living area?
Chicken feed is not adequate for gamebirds....a complete and balanced gamebird feed of at least 24% protein should be given.

Not 100% sure but it sounds as though it may have Ergot poisoning?
Could tell more if a video or good photos were posted.

Yes needs a different nutritional feed. Could be wry neck or something else.

I currently have separated her into a quarantine pen It could be the feed but I'm just not sure since she keeps tucking her head under herself closing her eyes and then flipping over if I tap her she will get up and move somewhat normally but then will do the wierd movement again she didn't hit her head or neck so I'm co fused as to why she is doing this
