Information please!

Hi, I am a new chicken owner and have lots of questions. But mainly right now I am wondering why one of my chicks shakes it head. I first noticed it tonight when they were falling asleep and one of them every couple of seconds would shake its head until it fell asleep. Is this normal? We just got the chicks a couple of days ago from orschlens so I'm not exactly sure how old they are right now. I have been reading all kinds of info about chickens and their problems they can have, so I am a little paranoid about it I guess. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Have you checked them over for mites or lice?

How do you do that?

not sure why your chick is shaking its head, but you can post to this forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/18/chicken-behaviors-and-egglaying and see if anyone has experienced that before, good luck to you.
