Help please my chickens are crazy

so I got chickens that are acting wierd their head trembles and they seem to act funny kind of like stargaze it is not neurological problem cause they all were infected they seem to eat , drink, and lay well but I don’t want them girls to be sick what could it be? Btw it is not mareks or new castle they already lasted weeks and I posted a link of someone’s chicken suffering the same thing
I'm seeing you posted this video a few months back and in that post you mention your chickens are acting like this man's.
This is not your bird correct?
Your feed is most likely your problem. Can you stop feeding the scratch and start buying a complete feed instead.
Also...did you end up treating for coccidiosis? If not, then that may have caused their insides to be damaged and they are physically not able to absorb what they need from feed.

A lot of people think it is okay to feed scratch grains to their chickens, because chickens will prefer it to chicken layer feed. But scratch is not a balanced diet, and only contains half of the protein needed to lay eggs and be well nourished. It is lacking in vitamins and minerals as well, and that is when you can see vitamin deficiencies.

I was just at TSC yesterday. Fifty pounds of scratch is $9, while layer pellets were $10. If you stop the scratch completely, they will start eating the pellets. You can try wetting the feed at first in a pan if they act picky. Just wash the pan out daily, so it doesn’t mold.

Your other thread from earlier this year seems to have the same hen, so is that your hen or someone else's bird?

I'm following.

The OP said scratch and crumble is what's being fed.

Did you have any testing done? If not maybe that's a good idea.

Did you check for mites and lice?
