Can chickens have epilepsy? I'm not a vet or a doctor but I have no doubts whatsoever that chickens can have epilepsy and have seizures that appear to be exactly the same as if a person was having an epileptic seizure.
I have witnessed a number of people having mild to moderate and grand mal seizures but until recently I've never seen an animal have one but have heard of canines having them.
A few days ago, I purchased what appeared to be a perfectly healthy Lemon Pekin Cockerel.
The following day I went to let it out of it's enclosure along with four hens and it appeared lame, as if drunk or it had injured its leg. I checked for any noticable injury but found nothing. A while later, it's happily roaming the garden.
Next day it had to be moved and was put in a suitable box for a short while. A few minutes later I could hear it thrashing about in the box but it wasn't struggling to get out... It was quite clearly having a fit, falling over, struggling to stand and started gasping for breath even though the box was wide open and outside. I thought, chickens can't have fits - or can they?
Later, that same day after further exercise and free-roaming, it had at least another three or four seizures and I'm left with no doubts whatsoever that these were epileptic seizures that were basically the same as those seen in people! So, I vote Yes!
