Chicken With Head Tilt

[purplechicken7]

I have a young Ameraucana that is holding its head to the side. I just noticed this today! The bird can run and walk just like normal. I felt if it's crop and it doesn't feel like its ate anything. I have not introduced any new birds in over 2 months and I now have this one separated.

I just did. So I assume it's kind of a guessing game about what's going on. I might just cull but I'll wait and see if it has any other issues.

I'm going to get some vitamin E tablets tomorrow.

Almonds, spinach, sweet potato, crushed almonds and sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E. Only a small amount of any one can help. A small amount of chopped egg will supply some selenium, also helpful for vitamin E utilization.
