Dizzy Bantam - Please help!!!

[Fwoof]

My Sebright (Stormy) is

She's acting really dizzy, losing balance easily and staggering around when she walks, and when I fed them this morning she was having trouble focusing on her food, trying to peck at it but missing.
Also it rained yesterday, but she stayed nice and dry, so I don't know if that'll help you make any guesses.
I haven't weighed her, but I can tell she's slightly lighter than she was yesterday.
I suspect possibly an inner ear infection, but I checked and her ears look nice and clear to me. I'm at a loss.
Please help.

I've been giving her B12 and E and hand feeding her wet feed and water. I don't know what else I should do.

Good for you ruling out a few possibilities such as sudden temperature changes and ear problems.

Dizziness, imbalance, stumbling can have many causes. Here are some to consider. Could the rain have caused the feed to get moldy? Could she have encountered lower layers of compost or leaf mold where anaerobic bacteria lives?

There is a chance this could be a vitamin deficiency such as vitamin E and B2. Both deficiencies cause these symptoms. Giving vitamin E capsules can produce nearly immediate improvement while giving B-2 may take four to eight weeks to see improvement.

Don't think it's a moldy feed issue, but leaf mold is definetly a possibility. She loves to explore and sometimes finds herself in a nice damp spot to scratch in.

As vit E goes, I've been giving her black oil sunflower seeds to supplement but I have gel capsules as well, and might switch to that. What is the dosage of vit E for a chicken, let alone a bantam?

Thank you so much for the reply!!!
