1. head and neck tremor: possible diseases have
1. Encephalomyelitis: highly contagious, with concentrated incidence, mostly in chicks. There was obvious brain edema in autopsy, and vascular sleeve formation in brain section microscopy.
2. Vitamin E deficiency: non-infectious, mostly sporadic, more common in laying chicks and broilers. Severe lack of liquefaction of the occipital lobe of the brain, broilers can be manifested as head and neck tremor, regression and other ataxia performance, and even head and neck paralysis, cold, lying on the ground.
3. E. coli or Salmonella encephalitis: low infectivity, mild tremor in the head and neck, drowsiness with closed eyes. The cerebellum was necropsied with bleeding spots.

3. cockscomb, flesh beard swelling purple, and even bleeding, facial swelling, autopsy head subcutaneous edema, jelly-like exudation, for the typical characteristics of avian influenza. If it only shows swelling, it may also be swollen head syndrome caused by pulmonary virus infection. Laying hens with chronic cholera sometimes have swollen meat drooping, cut open meat drooping purulent blood outflow.
4. facial suborbital sinus, sinus swelling, purulent nasal discharge for infectious rhinitis. Only the inferior orbital sinus swelling, it may be mycoplasma or combined infection with rhinitis.
5. beak soft, rickets. It may be related to vitamin D or calcium deficiency.
6. chicks have upper beak and lower hook, short skull, more hairy eggs in the late incubation period, and their chick embryos are not dead. Associated with manganese deficiency in seed eggs.
7. large-day-old broilers or young laying hens with exophthalmos is a sequelae of encephalomyelitis.
8. chicken tongue dark black, vitamin B5 deficiency, commonly known as black tongue disease.
