Help!! Bantam seizures!!

[jadenthechicken]

My Black tailed Japanese bantam hen is having weird seizures and throwing her head back and twisting it! I'm afraid she is going to die so help me please!

Is the chicken actually having a seizure or is the neck twisting? Their is a condition called wry neck/crook neck/ torticollis that is a symptom of a disease such as Mareks or Newcastles disease and others, and can be a result of a head injury or a vitamin deficiency. Is there any history of those causes? Vitamins (B1, E, and selenium) may be eneficial along with isolation for peace and quiet, and less stimulation.

In addition to what eggcessive said, those types of seizures can mean the dying process has started. I really hope that's not the case... If I were you I would treat as she suggested.
