Epileptic like symptoms in baby chick

[Isabelstu]

Recently my 3 month old Peking cockerel has fallen sick, we took him inside to keep a eye on him… he has recovered but before we were about to put him outside with his siblings he experienced something that looked like a minor seizure. It looked like he was trying to groom himself but he wasn’t actually touching his feathers. This has happened before when he when he was only a few weeks old but we didn’t think much of it (breeder claimed him to be vaccinated and we don’t know anything about his parents)

Pictures, or video of the bird will help?

I'd treat him with some Vitamin E. It's supposed to help with neurological problems in chickens.

Update on the chick, he has now passed on… we had discovered a tumour growing on and blocking his airways,.. there was nothing we could do to save him so we had put him down
