Thank you for replying.Neurologic symptoms of wry neck can include the symptoms she is having. Seizures also can be common in chickens. I would continue to give the increased vitamin E and B complex as Wyorp Rock at least for a couple of weeks. Since wry neck can be a result of head injury, vitamin E or thiamine deficiency, or a disease that affects the brain (Mareks, Newcastles, avian influenza, serious respiratory disease, tumor,) it can take some time to see results and improvement.
We bought the vitamins suggested by Wyorp Rock. Went ahead and gave her the recommended amount. She doesn't want to eat or drink anything. But we gave her a small amount of scrambled egg. All she seems to do is sleep. She also tends to close her left eye more than her right.
Also to note when she is out walking or standing she does not hold her neck in any position. It is normal. Her gait is slow but does not really lose balance.
Later this afternoon as I was trying to feed her again. She had a seizure. She got low, turn her head to the left and head began to shake slightly, her eyes widen. She then stayed there asleep and she had a small amount of bubbles/salvia on the outside of her beak. When I carried her to her coop she tends to curl her feet. It was extremely difficult to witness.
If hypothetically speaking, it is a vitamin deficiency. Will the seizures stop? Obviously only time will tell. But would she go "back to normal". Or does her having seizures mean we should be prepared to say goodbye.
Its only been one day that we gave her the vitamins suggested by Wyorp Rock. I hope it helps her.
