Head Shaking Pullet

[theoldfarmhouse]

My Coronation Sussex pullet has been shaking her head constantly since we got her about a month ago. She has not got mites but I've given her an extra treatment anyway, her ears are clear and healthy. I've had her on antibiotics for 5 days. No improvement. She's eating well and putting on weight. Any ideas? Is it congenital?
Thanks!

I'm still new to the world of chicken troubleshooting, but I've had a surprising number of difficult challenges given my limited experience.

Unfortunately it seems to me that head shaking and the like can be caused by just about anything (from mites and respiratory issues, to physical trauma to internal parasites to various diseases).

I think you'll need to find more symptoms in order to help diagnose the problem.

Thanks HoopyFrood - everything else seems fine - no runny nose or eyes, normal poo....??
