Hello!
Not sure if this is a huge concern or not as she has no other issues (so far) but I recently noticed my 2 month old silkie shaking her head in a dizzy manner. It's not anything she's ever done before. She is eating and drinking fine. Just acting a bit off and doing this strange twitching/shaking with her head that has me puzzled.
 
Can you get a video of her actions?

Upload video to YouTube and provide a link.

You mention Silkie and twitching, so I until we have a visual to go by, I'd start treating with Vitamin E and B-Complex.
You can find vitamins at stores like Walmart.

Give her 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily along with a little scrambled egg which will help with the uptake of E.

See that she's eating her chick starter well and drinking.

Do look her over for lice/mites, inside her ears for infection, make sure her crop is emptying overnight and watch to see that she's able to see well and doesn't need feathers trimmed away from her eyes.
