So we have a 10-11 year old hen who is displaying some wry neck like symtoms, but seems to be flailing her head around quite a bit. I thought it could be seizures?

So I have an Isa Brown hen who has been pretty sick over the last 2 weeks and I have had to intervene.
She is 4 years old (almost average age for the I/B's) and noticed that she wasn't eating and spent more time standing still and sleeping.
She still chirps all happy when I pay her a visit (I...

Originally I just thought it was something caught in her eyelid and it would go away by it self.
When I went outside today to feed the flock I picked her up and...
Last week we had a chicken die after finishing her molt, she didnt eat and always "slept".
Anyway, now we have another hen starting to molt and she won't sit down, it is freezing cold outside so I put her in an enclosed old chicken coop which should keep her warp.
