    Chicken tipping forward/off balance

    Thank you for replying! I don't know much about her breed honestly, forgive me. She does resemble a "production red" based on the other photos I found in a quick search. We got her from a super large flock where she was the runt. She was getting picked on so much that her low back was bald...
