I would say she is a barnyard mix (I call her a mutt haha), but she does lay the most pretty blue eggs.They look happy pecking around the yardI hope you feel better soon!
So true!
What breed is Buttercup she is a lovely hen and happens to look like Biscotti’s twin and her breed is a bit of a question mark for me.
Powder reminds me so much of my chickens too. They always want to look up in the sky for hawks and other flying predators and that is my favorite chicken behavior. I also have to keep an eye out for hawks too but they only look up at the sky if there is something in the sky.
My issue is one of space - that is only 4' wide x 10' long. It looks like I will have to cut down those roosts to 2.5' so that the Silkies are not endangered, and the big girls and Mr P can still get up onto those nest boxes.
Is she moulting? Dorothy was doing that - remember? ! had me all freaked out, but I think it was her pin feathers coming in that were painful on her legs and belly.I hope I feel better soon too. My little Coco is having trouble. I’m bringing her inside for the night. She’s stepping sideways like she’s dizzy. Same as I am
You be careful, hold onto the walls. Do you have a cane? Safety rule - always have 3 points of contact with the ground/steps. A cane can be a good third point of contact for support.
All birds have far better eyesight than humans
They also will sleep with one side of their brain - this is why you cannot sneak up on geese when they are sleeping - they will have one eye always open - that side of the brain is still active. 
Hope that’s all it is. But it sure looks painful to my Coco.
Poor wee gal...Hope that’s all it is. But it sure looks painful to my Coco.
