Hello I have a silkie Chicken that is almost a year old her name is Bennie and shes walking strangely. She gets kind of hunkered down almost crouching but not quite and then walks sideways. She has an extra toe on one of her feet and 3 extra toes on the other, it hasn't caused any issues with her walking before. Another issue I saw was that her nail was gone on both outside toes that could also affect her walking. And can worms affect walking because a little while ago I saw something moving in her poop and I thought that it could be worms but I haven't seen anything else in her poop recently. I don't know what's wrong. Any clarification would help loads. Please help!
 
Poop pictures or short videos are welcome. Also videos of her walking, posted to YouTube with a link here would be good. Look at her vent for anything moving. Maggots can get on poopy vents, and they also may get on poop that has been lying around. Was your silkie vaccinated for Mareks disease? An injury or a vitamin B2 (riboflavin) deficiency might be possibly, but Mareks disease can also be possible. I would go get some super B complex tablets and cut one in half and crush it on some food daily. Or use a vitamin for chicks with riboflavin on the label daily. Riboflavin deficiency can cause them to walk on their hocks, and have curled under toes.
