Does anyone else have a chicken that has seizures?

I have a 6 month old cockerel silkie that has had seizures nearly everyday since he has hatched. He reminds me of a fainting goat, when he gets stressed he starts shaking his head, tucks it between his legs and runs backwards uncontrollably for about 5 to 10 seconds. Then he pops his head up and acts totally normal again. He does not seem to be suffering in any way so I am not concerned with that, but I was curious if anyone one else has seen this in any of their birds.
 
There are many people who help birds with neurological issues.

It's possible he has wry neck, which can be treated with a little vitamin boost in his water. It looks like vitE and Selenium can help with the symptoms.

I'm sure he appreciates all your kindness. :)
