Baby chick twitching!?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
Just a normal healthy chick who might be sneezing from the bedding. Are you sure she's drinking water? Or maybe too much water? Did she get vaccinated for Marek's? Well, I can't examine your chick, but one of my chicken twitches in her sleep and she did that ever since she was born. If it gets worse, get a vet. :)

i'm pretty certain that sometimes, animals and chicks ( i have five) just do some funny things. Maybe she an itch or something at the moment and then after a moment it went away. If this doesn't seem like the answer, you can ask the avian specialists at this link:http://www.justanswer.com/sip/Poultry-Ve...

So I have seven, one week old, Easter Eggers. I keep them in a big plastic tub, and change the bedding every 2 days. I use pine shavings from my local feed store as their bedding. I make sure they have access to clean water and food throughout the day and am constantly checking on them.

My chicks ran out of food in the morning and so I ran to the feed store and picked up some more food. I cleaned their bin and gave them their food, and they were all acting pretty normal and started eating. But then I noticed that one of my chicks had stopped eating and started to twitch. She was standing up and the upper half of her body would twitch to the right every couple of seconds. But she continued eating and even went to go drink water. I watched her and this went on for about 5 minutes and then just stopped. She's currently just walking around the bin pecking and acting normal, and she just laid down to go to sleep with the rest of the chicks. The other chicks are acting completely normal, and she seems to be just fine right now, no more twitching. She's never had an issue like this before.

I'm really worried, is there anything wrong with her?

Thanks
