crouching chicken?

[skeeter03]

I have a 12 week old brown leghorn and she crouches everywhere - even while walking any ideas for me. i picked her up and felt her legs she never made any noise at the touching and she can stand on them but she just crouches everywhere she goes. Help is this a sign of something or is it bad?

Does she squat when you put your hand on her back, or just for unexplainable reasons?

She may be ready to be *mounted* by a rooster. That seems a little young to me, but I dont really know.

she just started doing this but she runs all around doing it. soooo odd. its not just when i go to pet her its almost constant I will check on her in a few minutes here and see if she is still in a squat.

ok now she is back to normal lmao

Do you have a picture of her?

 

[skeeter03]

nope to tell you the truth i now dont know which one it was lmao - they look the same and she is not doing it anymore. I will watch to see what happens today. oh and I have dial up so putting on pictures takes me hours blah

Maybe she was slightly constipated!
