Crawling chicken

[Paulped]

Does anyone know why a chicken would squat and walk ? My chicken recently started doing this and i dont know why . It walks normal then suddenly squats as if its ducking from being picked up.

Could be reacting to a bird flying over or near it.

If she's a hen, she wants to be mated.

What you describe is a pullet coming into point of lay who is ready to mate.
