Shaking Legs and bad balance

a bit over 3 months she looks the same as all the other hens and has no weight change. She can stand and walk but her legs tend to shake quite strongly. She also sometimes loses balance when walking with shaking legs. She has had these symptoms for about 2 weeks and it hasn't seemed to change at all.

They tend to eat Layer pellet feed and had started with Purina start and grow.

Born on September 19th of this year.
Do you have others the same age or is she the only one you got 3 months ago?
How long has she been eating layer pellets?

I would put her on chick starter or an all flock feed. Give her 1/4 tablet B-Complex and 400IU Vitamin E once a day.

Is there another platform you would be more comfortable uploading your video to so we can see it? Vimeo, tiktok, twitter, etc.?

Thank you so much! We got her and 5 other chickens at the same time and they were all the same age. I do have Instagram if you wouldn't mind messaging through there. If so mine is @the.shtutz

Also she has been eating layer pellets for almost a month whenever they moved in with the older chickens. They decided to eat their food so we just moved them over to layer pellets.

Emily, I would try the vitamin therapy and see if that helps. I don't think the extra calcium in the layer feed would have affected her in that short period of time.
Okie lol I'm sorry it's all I have that I use but thank you so much! I'll start that today. How would you recommend I give her the vitamins.

Vitamin E is usually a soft gel, so just pop it into her beak and let her swallow. Same with the 1/4 tablet B-Complex.
