Drunken chicked? Please Help

[weheartchicks]

I have a 18 month old Barred Rock chick. Since the day after Christmas she has been walking like she is drunk. She will squat and attempt to walk but swerves left to right and sometimes in a circle. It is very odd.....she does not seem to be in pain, as I have picked her up, held her, and moved her legs to see if she was having pain and she seems to be fine. I have seperated her from my other hens just incase she is ill. Her poop is normal and she has a normal appitite. I cant tell how much she is drinking because her drunk walking has caused her to knock her water over more than once. I have mixed a solution of vitamins and electrolytes into her water in hopes that she would begin to feel better. I think she is starting to move around less and less. Has anyone experience these symptoms?
