NEW CHICKEN MAMA w/ concerns about her chicken:shakes/jerks her head

[marypeepins]

we are new to raising chicks. we have 3 of them, the one i'm worried about often shakes/jerks her head around like she's trying to shake something off. does anyone know what this could indicate? mites? not sure what to do or what the treatment would be? it's a silver laced wyandot, she's 2 month old now. she has done it for a while, it's NOT improving...help

any advice is greatly appreciated!

Have you checked her for mites? We can tell you what to treat with if so. Check under her wings and the area around her vent...you should see them scatter when you part the feathers.
