Can you give more info....age...if she's laying...what she's eating...when did it start.....for how long....has she been wormed or treated for coccidia....etc...

Could possibly be mareks but I agree we need more information.

the silkie is probably 2 years old, he eats Layena crumbles, it has been going on for about 3 weeks but i didn't think anything of it at first because it is winter here and i thought it was trying to stay warm all huddled up in the corner of or coop, but last night we brought him in the house and it didn't get any better. He was pollorium tested when he was a chick but that's all he has been treated for.

It is like he can't get his balance.
