walking funny

Young hen that yesterday was running around just fine. Laying eggs daily, I know cause she's the only blue egg layer. Today I came home to her laying in the grass and pulling something from her vent and eating it. It looked like a soft egg. Next too her was a warm freshly laid egg. She's since...

I have a barred rock that is about 20 weeks old. She has developed this odd type of crouch walking. Looks like the equivalent of army crawling, but for chickens. I thought maybe she was egg bound so I gloved up and put petroleum jelly on my finger and inserted it into the vent about two inches...

Hi there, this is my first post here, let me know if this isn't the right place! I'm new to chickens and hoping to get some advice about a hen who has been taking high steps when walking, but is otherwise normal. Breed: Rhode Island Red (I believe) Age: About 4 years old Weight: Similar weight...

Looking for help for my hen! She is starting to lose a bunch of feathers, but too young for a molt. She is not even a year old yet. Appetite is down, and she’s walking weird (video below), but she can still run and catch up to the others. Seems like she’s in pain when I try to touch her...

All my quail chicks wing feathers have started coming in! One of them has started walking really funny. He squats close to the ground and holds his wings out beside him while he walks. I checked his legs and them seem fine (not slipped hock, no curled toes) so I was thinking maybe his new...

My 2.5 year old california white hen has had trouble walking the past week or so and has a limp in her left leg. This has happened to her before and eventually went away, but it seems like it's worse this time. She just sits most of the day, only walking around if I give worms. And as I gave...

My hen is a roughly 1 1/2 year old australorp. She is in the middle of a seasonal hard molt. Today I noticed she is walking around strange; she's crouching with her body low to the ground and kinda stumble-crawling around. Her belly doesn't seem to be dragging the ground. And to be clear, this...
