I have a hen, and frankly I have no idea what variety she is... she was a "rescue" from someone who didn't want their hens anymore. Anyway, shortly after we got her this past summer I noticed her standing wierd. It was almost like she was standing upright and her backside was almost between her feet. She was having great difficulty walking and didn't really seem to want to eat or do much. We kept an eye on her and tried to make her as comfortable as we could (bringing food to her etc...). After a week or so we decided we may need to put her down... shortly after that decision she seemed to be getting better and was completely back to normal within a couple of days. She's been great ever since... laying regularly and being a normal happy chicken.
The night before last I went out to feed them and noticed her starting to get back into the same positon. And as of this morning she's standing almost completely vertical again and again is not really eating or moving around much.
I'm completely at a loss as to what may be wrong. She's alert, she's just in this wierd position and not moving around much. Any ideas what it might be?
Thanks!
