Walking in circles

[roseydv]

Why is my chicken losing balance and walking in circles? These symptoms are mild and sh is able to feed and drink with everyone else. I realize that this is neurological. I hope this is not terminal

Could you get a video of her doing that?

 

[roseydv]

Yes I’ll try. Thank you

 

[Tookie]

Yes I’ll try. Thank you

Oh, how long has this been going on and how old is she?

About two weeks maybe longer. My husband noticed it before I did. Didn’t think much about it, until today. She’s a year old
I’m trying to attach videos. She also has this screwy neck movement

Walking in circles can be a sign of wry neck syndrome, and can be from a head injury, vitamin E deficiency, and neurological disorders from diseases affecting the brain. Mareks is one of the possible diseases. I would give 400 IU daily of human vitamin E by just popping it into her beak to swallow.

She is definitely having neurological symptoms. Try the vitamin E and offer a small amount of scrambled egg daily for selenium, which helps in vitamin E uptake.

Thank you so much! Don’t feel hopeless now
