Is it possible to post photos of her feet, so we can see if she would be helped by taping her toes into correct position. If intervention is done early, there is a very good chance for success.

You may also want to post on the "Silkie thread,"

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Sorry about your silkie. You might want to post on the Emergencies forum about her www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures How old is she? How long has she been doing it?

Welcome to BYC!

Sorry about your Silkie. They can be prone to vitamin deficiencies that can cause weakness and balance issues. Definitely post this in our emergency section for help with your bird. Kelsie has left you with the link. I hope your bird makes a complete recovery.
