Hi all, I have a muscovey duck about 10 yrs old.
She has a problem that I have never seen before.
Her name is Sarah. Sarah is blind and been so for some time.
Her overall health has been normal until now.
Now she keeps to herself a lot which is only 50% normal.
Her being blind I have to have everything in it's place to help her get around.
She has stopped going outside now. The coup is very well ventilated.
Now, her problem is this.
Sarah backs up to a wall or corner and puts her head on her back,
then she moves her head in a figure eight motion for a few minutes then stands there not moving.
It seems she has something going on in her head and I am worried about her. she eats and drinks as normal.
Has anyone seen this type of behaviour at all?

Hello Possum, thank you for your reply. This was a hard post to do.
I have had poultry for many years and have never seen this before.
Sorry to say , but Sarah has passed away. At least she is not in pain? any more.
I did not get an autopsy done and I think that it would have given me an answer.

Sometimes infection in the sinus area can cause brain issues

Sorry for your loss

I had heard of this before and very interested if that is connected with seizers
