Turkey seizure? Sick poult.

[dearduckyducky]

I came home from work today to find one of our turkey poults having seizure like symptoms. It was half standing, and kept swinging it's head back and forth. Almost like it was scratching it's head on it's back. It won't stop unless I support it's neck and head. As soon as I let go, it starts swinging it's head back and forth.
Injury?
Disease?
Should I be concerned for the rest of my flock?
I have it seperated in my bathroom for now.

The turkey is about four months old. None of the other 6 turkeys are doing this.

Sounds like it might be an inner ear thing.

I lost one of my chicks this way, I found her lying on the ground one morning and i put her in a cage but she soon had the same symptoms your poult... It didn't work out for her, she died.... I'm so sorry I can't help....

brain damage or birth defects i'd say. i don't think there's really anything you can do about it
go see a vet? maybe they could find out the problem
sorry i couldn't help out anymore
