Help - Wobbly neck silkie

[Goulaigan]

I've had several silkies but never had one with a wobbly neck like this before.. None of my others are exhibiting this. Otherwise she is thriving.
Hoping someone else has seen this and can suggest a remedy.

I'd get her on vitamins to see if that helps.

Give 400IU Vitamin E along with 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily. Give her a little egg to help with the uptake of E.

While you're at it, look in hear ears for any infection or debris. Check her over for lice and mites.

Thanks for your thoughts!
No sign of lice, mites or ear infection. I always put some cider vinegar in the water and supplement starter crumble with scrambled eggs & grit. Never have added vitamins but will try it out. Dumb question but how do you get the vitamins to the target chick?

She's old enough that she can swallow the tablets if you put them in her beak.

Lol
I honestly never thought of that. Thanks!

An update:
Thanks for the suggestions on this site. I did provide the vitamins for a week+ and understand that if this is/was the problem patience would be required. Even though nothing was ever noticed in her ears, I decided to try putting a couple drops of coconut oil in each ear.(read this suggestion somewhere - I think on this site) After an hour or so the head wobbling slowed dramatically. Three days later - The head wobbles have stopped! I suspect something was moving in her ears and the oil has done the trick.
Not really sure which intervention worked but I'm very happy to see her behaviour normal.
Thanks!

Glad to hear she's doing better!
