Have you ever dewormed them? Worms can make them act lethargic. try putting vitamins and electrolytes in their water. I give my chickens garlic for immune boosters. It always ups egg production and its natural.

Silkies are known for wry neck. I would put her on vitamins, you can get poly visol without iron at Walmart in the baby section.

for vitamins would gatorade workand electrolights

Besides the normal predators, our neighbors were allegedly shooting the chickens at random and my flock went from 55 to 10
