Hello, I recently got 4 chicks around 3 weeks old. One of my chicks, who seems otherwise healthy, has a head twitch. She is the biggest chick and is the strongest with her wings and confidence. She is a Cinnamon Queen. Any suggestions as to what this could be or what I can do to help her?

Sorry for the delay in answering your post.

How is she doing?
If the twitch is constant, it would be worth seeing if possible - can you get a video? Upload to youtube or similar platform and provide a link.

If it's a shake now and again, then likely it's a normal reaction to pin feathers coming it on her head.

Thank you! Her head shaking is not constant, sometimes she does it and sometimes she doesn’t. I linked a video, but she normally doesn’t shake her head as much as she does in that video. There is typically more time in between the shakes than that video. https://youtube.com/shorts/14ak7DBhk5k

Adorable aren't' they :love

A flick of the head like that I wouldn't worry about. If it's constant, then I would be more concerned.
It wouldn't hurt to give her Poultry Nutri-Drench twice a day (2-3 drops), but if she's active, eating/drinking then I think she will be fine.
