Backflips

[Swiftbug2]

So found one of my roos having serious balance issues. Head would be held back against his body and he kept flipping backwards. I treated him for several weeks for the same issue with vit b complex, vit e, and selenium. He was fine for several days and now this again. Any ideas what it could be?

Look up chicken epilepsy. Has he had a recent shock, illness or injury?

No idea. Mine free range all day and I don't watch them much. I assumed prior it was a vitamin deficiency so treated it as such

What doses are you giving?

After a little reading it could be seizures. Hes wobbly and weak atm. Picked him up and he don't weigh as much as he used to do probably not getting much to eat. Figure it's better to cull him

 

[Swiftbug2]

This is what he looks like

What doses are you giving?

1 pill each

1 pill each

How long have you been treating him? I'd double up on the Bs

A few weeks. Then I decided to let him back in the flock since he was acting normal
