I tried to give get water with a tube but she couldn't swallow it. Now she jerks her head so hard it's not easy to hold it still to do anything...
I'm trying to get vitamins now.

She looks to be having a neurological problem causing the twitching. It could be seizure activity or something affecting her brain. A head injury, vitamin E deficiency, or disease could be possibilities. Does this activity stop? Could you start giving her some human vitamin E softgels 1 daily into her beak, along with 1/4 tablet of B complex or other chicken vitamin? Is she drinking or eating? Oh I see that she is not. Try holding a cup up to her beak and dipping her beak for a second.
