Hi,
I have a 4 month old silky who I noticed has been walking very slowly the last few days. Today I took her out of the coop, offered her food, water and egg yolk. She did eat and drink but barely moving. I thought maybe she was injured but she looks fine. No mites , or worms.

I have a 4 month old silkie who is acting very lethargic, looks like she is limping, but I don’t see any injuries, mites or worms. I took her aside today and offered her water, egg yolks , and food. She did eat and drink. Still acting very lethargic and odd. I took a video. Her face is a mess from the egg yolk🙂 I did see another post where the poor baby couldn’t see bc of its head feathers. I guess that’s possible?

Any new treats or feed being introduced?
But if not, and this behavior keeps continuing ide suggest an apple cider vinegar mixture since ACV is great for gut and crop health along with having prebiotic and anti-fungal properties.

Okay, then I'd probably just follow through and try the Apple Cider vinegar mixture, my friend used ACV with some herbs since they have their own healthy properties as well to help.
I hope this will help for your silkie peeps, keep me updated to see if there's any progress or an other ideas!!
