Yeah, that sounds funny... but she does. She's about 8-10 weeks old, a buff laced polish. She was with other chickens until three weeks ago when she wouldn't stand or walk on one leg. I brought her in, checked her out, couldn't find any injury, swollen, broken, anything. I have kept her in the garage since then and honestly, long story short, I've been on vacation off and on since then and my neighbor has been watching her along with the others. She is alert, eats and drinks fine. No other ailments and she is standing and walking much better then three weeks ago.
So, I went out to check on her today and she was sleeping, head curled underneath her breast, like chin down, and stuck out under her legs facing backwards. She was partially standing. She opened her eyes when I called to her but never moved until I picked her up. I sat her back down, she went in a position where she looked like she would preen her breast, but her head kept going and she did a full flip. I found her again a little while ago, sleeping in the same position.
I wish my daughter hadn't lost my digital camera last week or I'd show you a picture. It's pretty dang funny, but I wonder if I should worry about something neurological or a deficiency? Her poo has been normal, though a bit watery today. She eats Purina Start and Grow. She's by herself in her own cage.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!
