Chicken running backwards?

[Thechickentrainer1999]

Ever since my chick was about a month or 2 old, she'll be eating and then looks down at her feet and acts like she's in some sort of hypnotization faze or something. She runs backwards and shakes her head back and forth for about 3 feet. Now she's going on 16 weeks old and still does it off and on. What is the problem?

Mine do that occasionally when they're molting. Probably a new sensation with new feathers coming in and their brain misprocesses information. Don't know why a young bird would do it.

Neurological issues....something off in her brain.
What breed is she?
