Criss Cross Stumbling Chick

[NorthernChick1]

I have 2, 4 week old silkie/ee chicks. One is big and healthy but from a week old one had issues walking. At first we thought it was a deficiencie of some sort so we gave doses of vitamin e and egg yolks for a week which seemed to help. But the past two days ive noticed shes always laying down and its only when i took her out that i noticed she walks on her feet which makes her stumble and be off balance.
I will get some vitamin B tomorrow and get her on that with vitamin b andd 2 as well as egg yolks.

Has anyone ever heard or experienced this before? If so what can i do? I'm really attached and want get help her to give her a good quality of life.

Can you get a video or pics of what you are talking about? Are there any psychical abnormalities in legs or feet? Any difference in the way the gimpy one walks as compared with the normal one?

I can't figure it out. She seems fine, but stumbles every now and then. Do you think she is stumbling over her feet feathers?

This little sweetie seems to have a possible neurological issue. Are you pretty confident she was not injured? Do you have a poultry vitamin you can give her in addition to the vitamin B?
