Edit: reddit link that has video:

In the attached video you can see the way my hen is walking weird. Has anyone ever seen this? What might be the cause? I'm running out of options.
*the chicken in question is vaccinated for mereks. All if not most of my chickens are vaccinated. This is the only chicken doing this*
*No mites or signs of injuries*
*Temperatures outside are hot, but cooler than they were in the previous 3 weeks*
*she is 9 months old*
*her poop has been perfectly normal every single day, and she has laid a normal egg as I write this (September 3rd.)*
*her pupils do dilate when exposed to bright light. I see no sign of ear infection with my bare eyes.*
September 1st I noticed she was walking with a slight wobble and would sometimes fall. I assumed maybe she landed wrong and hurt/sprained her foot. She was eating, drinking, acting normal besides this.
September 2nd morning she was still acting this way. She quickly degraded, by mid-day she was walking like she is in this video. Very wobbly. Almost like she is drunk.
I gave her vitamin B complex, tumeric+ cummin, and some tums in yogurt. She ate it all up, along with her regular food and water (water has Hydro Hen in it.)
That night I let her sleep inside in the cool air.
September 3rd, morning time, she was waking a lot better with only a slight wobble. I gave her more of those vitamins and suppliments again. Then I let her out. After 2 hours she is walking bad again like in the video. I immediately brought her in again. It's been 8 hours, she is still like she was in that video.
Has anyone ever seen this, or have an idea what the cause might be? Thank you!
