I just noticed today my 2 year old silkie started wobbling. She was not like that yesterday. I did inspect her legs and feet and everything looks normal. So far she’s normal as well. Eating a lot, drinking vitamin water, and her poop looks normal. She does try to run a lot with the other hens, but she wobbles a lot. Any advice on what I should do?
Here is a short video of her.

Has she been laying? If so, do you know when her last egg was? Mine lay 5-6 days out of 7, so it's a little hard to go by, but wondering if she's egg bound. I had one that was, and she didn't miss a beat running around. She had a broken egg hanging out of her vent and I couldn't catch her. She wound up expelling it and was fine.

Otherwise, it could be a vitamin deficiency. I know you said she's on vitamin water, but I'd give her some B-complex and a calcium pill, which should cover both possibilities. B-complex I'd give her a half of one, daily for a couple of weeks. The calcium +D (400 iu or so) pill, for a couple of days. Both of these pills are the human version, you can get at a drug store or Walmart-type stores.
