Baby chick wont stop twitching

[kristinb17]

Why is my baby buttercup chick twitching its head so much. it twitches all the time. it will even be sleeping and start twitching its head so much that it wakes itself up. will she grow out of this? i got her two days ago and the twitching has lessened but now i noticed my silver lace chick is twitching its head every once in a while. i just hope whatever it is isnt contagious. has anyone had a baby twitch its head a lot even when asleep? its eating and drinking alright and is pretty energetic. seems completely normal other than the constant twitching

Are you able to post a short video using youtube or vimeo?

Is it just twitching it's head or is moving it's leg like scratching itself?

How old was she when you got her two days ago? Where did she come from? What are you feeding?

I got a Silkie with *similar* behavior from purely poultry... never stops scratching but doesn't have bugs... at 10 weeks has not grown out of it.

Hope you get answers!
