I only have one silkie, so I’m not sure if this is normal or not. My silkie is just very unstable, she’s been like this for weeks, which is why I just assumed it may be normal for silkies to be weaker. When she comes out of her coop in the mornings she stumbles out like a drunken sailor. She has a good appetite and she wanders around a lot. Often running to the goats to hang out around them and they’re on the back of the backyard, it’s a really large backyard. So I’m just curious if I should supplement her with something? She gets 15% Egg Ration Crumbles, it’s a blue bag with a black chicken from Atwood’s. None of my other birds are like this at all, I can add a video of her normal everyday if you would like :)
 
Yes, a video would be good! Upload video to YouTube and provide a link.

How old is she?

Can she see well? Sometimes Silkies need feathers trimmed from around the eyes. If they can't see well, they don't eat well and get weak.

Any lesions or bumblefoot on the feet? Any Scaly Leg Mites?

Sorry I never replied! She sadly passed away shortly after I posted this :/ I’m not sure why it all went downhill so suddenly, but it did..
