Help please

Hi so my 4-5 month old silkie hen has been unbalanced and falling over lately she drinks and eats completely normally and will walk and stand but it just seems like she has no balance and her knock as well sometimes twists when she sleeps. None of the other chickens are expiriencing these symptoms and I’ve tried separating her but if she’s separated she yells and ends up hurting herself. They are also in a smaller area with 2 roosters that have been fighting with each other and the others and I’m not sure if she was injured or if she’s sick

I’m not an expert on this but I instantly thought of wry neck.

I though the same thing.

Can you separate her and give her some extra support? If not, then separating the roosters (Cockerels?) may be a better option. If they are in a small space and fighting, then injury could very well be part of the problem.
For a Silkie, getting a bump on the head could cause those symptoms. Could be something else, but I would treat as Wry Neck going by your description.

Make sure she's eating/drinking. Also give 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet human B-Complex once a day. A treat of egg will help with the uptake of E.
