I don't know how else to title this, but today while outside watching the chickens, one of my hens would look down, peck at some forage, then suddenly turn her head right and walk backwards. The best thing I can compare it to is almost like someone took some reigns to her, pulled her head to the side and made her start walking backwards.
Of course she didn't do it while I had my phone and she only did it a couple times. She has a good appetite and is walking normally otherwise, scratching and foraging like usual.
She's super heavy in molt right now, as well.
Her diet, along with everyone else's diet, has been Purina Layena Free Range

Plus some Game Bird Starter/Grower

due to the heavy molt a few of my birds have been in. Nobody else has this weird walking issue, and this only started today. Should I give her some vitamin E just in case?
