Does anyone else have a chicken that sometimes appears lame after sandbathing? A few times now,a chicken has been disturbed during sandbathing and not able to stand or walk properly for a few mins. I've even had one try and stand up then fall over and literally roll down the hill. That was several months ago. Today,another chicken heard a bird call,got a fright and jumped up but couldn't seem to straighten his legs and he hobbled around till he managed to shake himself out and then he was fine again.
 
It actually hasn't happened for a while. Usually happens after a long,leisurely sandbath. I have 2 roosters who've just realised they're boys so my girls dont have as many long leisurely sandbags at the moment!
