One of my hens has been crouching a lot. I have read a lot of other posts here and I don't think it is because she thinks I am the rooster. When I went into the run today she was hiding in her shaded area crouching when I arrived and when I picked her up and stroked her etc she went back to crouching. She can walk although I am not sure if she is currently laying but she is usually (about 1 year old). We are in the UK and our hens have been kept in because of the avian flu risk so they are bored and we have tried to keep their interests up as much as possible with tips from here. It is also quite wet and cold here at the moment and we are losing the battle against the run being very muddy. The hens have recently been wormed. Any ideas what else the crouching could mean?
Thank you
