Odd chicken? Maybe blind?

Ok so I have a little black silkie polish cross, who is almost runt like? She acts a little funny, like she might be blind but I know she isn't, she LOVES to be held and is super sweet she's just...... Off? Quirky? Any thoughts or experiences?

Does she have buff (a fluffy thing) on here head?

A little fluff

I had one silkie that was a bit off, slower, not quite normal, she did okay, needed help occasionally, lived about three years, I think some silkies have an extra bump on their heads, mine did and the brain doesn't develop right, she will probably always be different and need special attention.

Thank you! This is the info I was hoping for! I don't mind giving extra special treatment, she is very much loved and spoiled! I was just interested in others' experiences!! Might I ask how your silkie passed, if it may have been do to the brain thing? Just need to mentally prepare myself if she won't live as long as the rest!

She just got really sad and listless, I let her go for a while, but then after a while she was getting too thin, so we culled her, felt worst than a normal chicken, hopefully yours will just pass one night as they often do. One chicken that I always think about, she was a funny little chicken.
