Chicken seizures?

[lorifitz76]

I caught my Turkey trying to mate my barred rock hen. He damaged her comb a bit. Sprayed it with Vetericyn. Now she keeps falling backwards and rolling her head around. She will drink from a syringe and gobbled up her scrambled eggs. Any thoughts?

The comb of a chicken helps keep it hydrated. Usually, when chicks and chickens show these things, they are dehydrated and need assisted hydration. I recommend keeping her indoors or in a shady spot outside until her comb heals. Continue assisted hydration.
Hope your chicken gets better!

Im no expert but the tom could probably really hurt her, and she might have internal damage.

No idea where you got this information from, but I can tell you it's false. Combs have no help in hydrating a chicken.

I learned it from my aunt who also owns chickens. She said that the comb act as a cooling system for chickens and helps to prevent dehydration. After I saw your post, I did some research and found evidence for my claim. Everybody has a say though. I'm sorry if this offended you in any way?

That is a theory that hasn't been proven. Cut the comb off(Dub) a chicken, & they are able to cool down the same without it.
Not offended, just trying to lessen the amount of disproven, theories, & misinformation that gets spread around.

The symptoms of the hen sounds more neurological, something going on with the brain.
