Help! Chicken head twitch?

Still the same. Seemingly tired, her leg is still mobile, just toes curled, like it hurts to walk on? Drinking little amount of water this morning still not eaten from what i can tell.

We have been trying to get rid of roosters, but every time our hens hatch eggs the majority of the 'survivors' aka the ones that dont disappear are roosters. I dont think she has mites, feathers are normal with no 'sandy/gritty' feeling anywhere on them.

Pull open a wing feather, push the feathers around and look closely underneath. Mites will literally suck the life out of your chicken. Same as worms.
It sounds a lot like Mareks’s.
Look up in your state for a location to do a necropsy and biopsy. States have areas all over and they are usually very reasonable. There is a college about a hour away from me that does them. My vet did one for me 2 weeks ago, but I didn’t do a biopsy because he was expensive.

I personally would end her suffering and cull her. I had to make that decision for my favorite hen last month.

We are going to put this poor hen out of her misery. Got home today, she cannot even hold her head up and is tripping over herself head first
