Can chicks just be clumsy?

Good info.
I did notice the head shake (tremble?) when she got up, but couldn't be quite sure about that. A peck to the head possibly? She is with 7wk olds. She does have quite a high crest to me, but I've never had Silkies either.

I've seen her do the head shake a few times but thought maybe it was an itch or she was trying to shake something off her beak, but now thinking there might be something more to that. Thanks everyone for the comments!

That's one reason for the suggestion of giving Vitamin E, B1, B2 and egg - (vitamin E + B-Complex). Sometimes vitamins may help with neurological symptoms, depending on the cause.

I hope she starts to improve, she's a little cutie

She is adorable. I’m pulling for improvement, too! Poor little thing - walking seems like such an effort!
