    So it has been three weeks of Vitamin E and B Complex with occasional eggs and collards for selenium. And no change. 😕 Still not sure what this nervous tick is.

    Thank you! Yes I can’t tell if it’s a neurological tick or caused by a vitamin deficiency or something. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I will do the vitamins for another 10 days and if there’s no change (that would be 3 weeks of those vitamins) should I assume it’s neurological and not harmful?

    Finally got another video! The twitching is often but intermittent.

    I was wondering if that’s what it is. I will give the vitamins a try for a couple more weeks but may leave it alone after that.

    Thank you so much! Such a strange thing. It’s good to know it can get better but maybe not go away and still be ok. Thank you again.

    Interesting! Did you treat with vitamins? And if so, for how long? And it didn’t get better but doesn’t seem to be bothering her or turning into something worse? That would be really good to know. Thank you for responding. 🙏 ❤️

    @murphrandir - Thank you for posting! Did your chick recover? We have a similar issue with a silkie right now. 😕

    Oh and he did start eating the eggs. I had to just feed them to everybody in order for him to not to avoid eating them. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    One week in and he’s still swaying and twitching his head quite a bit. I remember reading that it could take a couple weeks to see a difference? Is that true? 🙁

    So his pupils seem fine and I trimmed the feathers around his eyes and he is still shaking his head. So I am going to keep going with the vitamins. Wish he would be selfish and eat the eggs though. 😅

    Awwww I didn’t know that! 🥹🥰 That’s good to know and definitely possible. I kept thinking something was wrong with him because the hens would dive immediately for the food but he wouldn’t. Obviously my first roo. 😅

    No. They don’t seem to be picking on him or anything. And when I separate him, he looks stressed like he wants to get back to his ladies. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Ok I got these supplements (Vitamin E and B Complex) and made a tincture. I plan to give him one dropper twice a day. I have been trying to give him eggs but he doesn’t eat them unless they are on the ground, in the run, and he sees the other chickens eating it first. 🤦‍♀️ That makes me wonder...

    I can try that at night and see. 👍

    Do his eyes look ok to you? They seem different from the other chickens I have but they are all different breeds.
