Odd behavior

For the E, 400iu capsule daily is the dose. If they are not going to hatch eggs then it's best to break them. They don't eat and drink well, and it's hard on them, so no reason to let them go through it if they aren't going to raise babies. Some hens will go broody more than once a year, so it may have to be repeated. I only let mine sit once a year, so break them all other times. Just use a wire crate raised up on bricks or boards so air can circulate all around them (this helps cool their bodies), no bedding or nesting material at all, their own food and water. They stay there until they change their mind. Most hens will stop in 2 or 3 days, some take longer. If you let them out and they go back to the nest box, then back in the crate for another day or two. Examples below:

So I separated the two hens from the flock and start them on vitamins and electrolytes. The hen with neurological issues is no longer star gazing and is eating and drinking. I have also been giving her more veggies. I think she’s on the mend. Thanks for the help.

Glad she's doing better! I would continue the vitamins for a bit, make sure it's completely resolved.
