I don’t know why BUT both my silkie chicks have done this. Usually it’s when they jump or move quickly, they stand there and twitch repeatedly for a moment. I was initially worried thinking it was wry neck or neurological, but honestly it seems to be normal for silkies. That said, definitely take preventative steps and monitor to make sure it doesn’t get worse. Vitamins should help for wry neck for example.

Do you have a video of it?
