Blindness can be a Symptom of Vitamin A deficiency, if blind I'd treat with vitamins.

I had a situation with a chick that suddenly became blind, & had really bad head nods.

According to the video, he looks blind.

She did have a long drive yesterday from Ohio to Indiana

How long did you drive to get this bird?
What age did the seller say this bird is?
How much did you pay for this bird?

The bocking is the other chickens upset they aren’t out but this one is.

The bird was able to jump off the porch with no trouble, so I don't think it's blind now.

They are from Ohio and we are in Indiana so about 4-5 hours. He said they 7 months old. They had quite a few all running around together in a pin but we only got this one. He only breeds silkies and I have 2 adult silkies that have chicks and 6 standard size chickens so maybe it’s just scared from being away from its friends and seeing and hearing the bigger chickens.

Right that’s what I thought to but didn’t really move around much since it’s been here except for that and nows she’s slowly exploring the yard.

I think it's stress, & confinement.

That's quite a tour.

Hopefully, it will recover soon with your care.
