What's going on with my Baby

[Sati]

He is only 8 mos old. I've been noticing that he's been shaking his head alot but I'm new in the chicken world and didn't think to much of it.
Today I went out to feed and his head is tilted all the way to the right.
I'm so worried. Can someone please give me any ideas on what it could be?
I love my little boy and don't want to loose him but I think I probably will
Please someone help me!!

Welcome to BYC. Head shaking can be either normal if there are growing feathers, but can be a sign of mites, lice, or ear or respiratory infection. Yours sounds like he has wry neck (torticolis, crook neck) with his head tilted. This can be a symptom of many things, such as head injury, vitamin E/selenium deficiency, and other diseases. Most people give vitamin E to treat it, plus some egg or tuna for selenium daily until symptoms go away. Poultry Nutri-drench or Poultry Cell vitamin tonics contain both of those, and dosage is 1-3 ml daily given orally. Below are 2 examples of wry neck. Here are some good links to read:
