Head Injury?

[GelatinousUnicorn]

Hi everyone.

This is kind of hard to watch, but i would really appreciate some help on what is wrong with my rooster.

He has wry neck-like symptoms, but it was a sudden onset. I saw him completely fine and then a couple hours later he was writhing on the ground with his head twitching (shown in video).

I am suspecting head injury but wanted some other opinions.

He has been like this for 2 days without signs of improvement or worsening. He can still eat and drink which is good but seems in constant pain/distress.

We have been giving him vitamin E just in case it is JUST wry neck due to deficiency.

Thank you!
