Just wanted to update that Percy has just seemed to have stopped having the seizures at night and sleeps perfectly fine throughout the night on the roost! I have no idea what could have caused her to have these seizure type things suddenly, just to have them suddenly stop as well. I quit her...

I’ve been giving the vitamins and nothings changed. She’s not better or worse. 🤷🏼‍♀️ She’s acting perfectly healthy and happy during the day, maintaining her 2nd place in the pecking order, laying eggs, and has gone broody multiple times since. I guess it’s just her thing now, she did start...

Wry neck seems like a best case scenario for me since it’s easily treatable! Today I noticed that she also tilts her head a bit when she does a full body shake after a dust bath or preen session.

Great! Hopefully I’ll see some progress in a few weeks if that is the cause. She’s her completely normal and perky self today again. The “seizures” happen often throughout the night and then they seem to come to a stop once sunrise comes, I can start to see light around 5:20am. Once it’s light...

Ok, it might be a week or so until I can get the calcium but for now I’m giving her the others! During the day she’ll only do the seizure like head movements after she scratches her head and they last anywhere from 2-10 seconds, it also doesn’t happen every time. Shes standing up fine while they...

I know, it’s terrible to see her going through that, especially when she’s acting perfectly normal throughout the day. She’s been scratching around all morning and now she’s complaining about having to lay her egg and someone’s in her favorite nest box. Definitely continuing with the daily...

UPDATE: This happened at 8:25 tonight, she went to bed around 7:45. I did leave her on the roost just for tonight so I can get one last look to see exactly how the seizure happened on the roost, she was in a really good place on the camera to catch the super weird head jerk right before it...

Her head feels symmetrical. I don’t feel any off bumps or anything either. She’s definitely wondering why I’m feeling her all over haha. I can try and give her 1/4 of an ibuprofen before bed and see what she does. Going to try anything I can for her.

Just checked and her ear canals are both completely clean and pink inside, I was hoping that might be the cause! So not sure why she was scratching at her head a lot at night, she doesn’t seem to do it much during the day.:confused: Bought the vitamins today though and gave her a full vitamin...

UPDATE: Looks like Percy does the head “seizures” quite a bit at night. She only does it maybe 2-3 times while she’s sleeping. The rest of the times she does it she’s scratching at her head at night, many times while preening. None of the other girls scratch at their ears/head like her at night...

UPDATE: Posting this before I go to bed for the night… here she is doing the seizure like head twitches while sleeping on the floor. I left the beginning on longer so you can tell she was just sleeping normally before her head started doing the weird movements. So far this is the first time she...

UPDATE: I’m just updating that I’m going to be picking up vitamins E and B complex tomorrow and starting Percy on those straight away. Right now I’m planning to give it to her daily for 2 months, and hopefully there might be some progress if the cause is a deficiency or neck vertebrae trauma...

I can try that! That beak injury was actually probably from the broody cage (it’s hardware cloth). I noticed the hen that was with her has the same one just less noticeable. Thank you! I hope she will too. I’m picking up the vitamins at the store tomorrow and will start the vitamin treatment...

I’m definitely going to be picking up some bottles of vitamin E and B complex. It’s nice to know that they can both help a potential deficiency and regenerate any possible nerve damage. She’s absolutely not going to be sleeping on the perch at night, I don’t want her to break her neck by...

I don’t or didn’t have a rooster in my flock… but I did have her in the broody breaker cage with another broody hen. They were mad about being in there and pacing/jumping. They had to stay two days before being broken of their broodiness. It’s possible she could’ve gotten trampled while they...

UPDATE: I wanted to post some videos of how Percy acts during the day. As you can see in the videos she walks up and down the ladder without issue, and has no weakness or any balance issues. As of right now I’m going to start the suggested vitamins E and b complex. I’m welcoming any suggestions...

I hope she'll be alright too! She's a very sweet and otherwise healthy girl. I will definitely keep updating and welcoming all suggestions for what might be wrong with her!

The only symptom that seems to fit out of there is the occasional stargazing as seen in the video. Other than that she has a good appetite, not lethargic or weak whatsoever, and her crop is emptying at night. I'm going to the store tomorrow and will be picking up some vitamin e and b complex...

I read through your thread for a second time and their situations are very similar but I also see some differences. Percy only did it a couple of times throughout the night and slept in a completely normal position for the rest of the night. She was on the roost sleeping like normal for about an...

UPDATE 2: I was wrong about her not doing it again at night while laying down. I started going through the footage again and saw her do it again a couple hours later. I missed it before because it lasts a lot less time while she’s laying down and she doesn’t flap madly. I’m going through the...
