Hello, I have a 1 year old wydot chicken. She seems fine, eating, drinking and pooping fine. I’ve been noticing she’s kinda been walking wobbly. Do you know why I could do to help her? I checked her out and she does not have any marks on her feet or bumps.
 
Can you get a video of her?
Upload video to youtube and provide a link.

What do you feed including treats?
Is she laying eggs?

Do a basic check of her - crop emptying in the morning, look for lice/mites, check feet/toes/bottom of feet/legs/joints for any bumblefoot/broken nails/scabs/injury, etc., feel her abdomen below the vent between her legs-any bloat or feeling of fluid.

Observe to make sure she's staying hydrated.

There is the video above. She does lay eggs but not daily. I check my chickens everyday for lice/mites. I make sure to clean their area often and coops. Here is the food I give them and treats I give them.

I'd limit the treats.
Make sure her crop is emptying overnight. If it's not, then begin treating that symptom.

You can try vitamin therapy to see if those help. Give 1/4 tablet B-Complex and 400IU Vitamin E daily along with a bit of egg.
I'd also be inclined to give her extra Calcium for 3-5 days.

If possible, get a fecal float to see if worms are a contributing factor to her decline.

It could be injury, she sprained something, or she may be suffering from disease like Marek's. It can be hard to know what's going on unless you lose them and have a necropsy through your state lab.

Okay I will do that. For the most part she stays hydrated, drinks a lot of water and food. She doesn’t look sick she’s just wobbly at times.
