Wow! That's strange. I've never seen anything like that with my birds I typed "chicken walking in circles" into the BYC search box and several old threads popped up. Everything from mites to wry neck was mentioned. Here's the link - perhaps you can find the solution: https://www.backyardchickens.com/newsearch?search=chicken+walking+in+circles
Good luck to you!

Mareks disease possibly, but more likely a neurological issue associated with malabsorption of Vitamin E, B's and Selenium. If you give her a few doses of Poultry Nutri Drench, that might bring her around. If it doesn't you should cull her and perhaps have a necropsy done.

Seperate her quickly if its mareks disease it can spread to the others. If treatment from the vet or probiotics (kefir) doesnt work you should euthanize her. Very sad to see.

Agrees, due to the bending of neck.
@mattscoop how old is this bird and how long have you had it?
