Clementine is shaking his head

Only problem is, I don’t know what the problem is…

@Tookie you are so helpful when I have a question (thank you)…I hope you don’t mind me tagging you?

I’m not too sure what’s wrong, is he acting completely normal?
I would check his ears and make sure they’re clear of anything.
Also check his mouth and make sure he doesn’t have any lesions in there.

Yes, I will get my nephew pick him up when he gets home from school. I'll check everything. He's acting fine. He's a sweet boy and a fierce ....something, at times. Lol I can't think of a good word for him.

Have you checked him for mites/lice? Have you considered the possibility of an ear infection or gapeworms?

I will check again for mites. I haven't seen any worms. He's molting but other than that, everything looks good. He's been doing this for a while now.

If he has been doing this for awhile and otherwise acts normal and healthy I wouldn't worry about it. I know some people who have chickens like that but are perfectly normal otherwise. Maybe they do it just to help them swallow? Chickens can be so funny sometimes! If you do think it is a disease though, you could check out this article on all possible ones:
