Rooster Seizing & Scratching Head.

[FreckledFourCoop]

I have a 10 month old serama rooster who has been completely healthy up until the last couple of weeks. Now he is constantly scratching his head and I do mean constantly. He's also starting to have seizures when he's under stress or gets too excited around his ladies. The seizures last less than 30 seconds but are happening more frequently now. I inspected his feathers for mites and his ears look clean. Any ideas or suggestions?

I would dust him for external parasites. Even though you don't see them it doesn't mean they aren't there. Some are very tiny, and very fast. I would also treat the coop paying attention to anywhere wood comes together as mites like to hide in those cracks.
