I'm Kathy a new member to this website but not new to raising chickens.

I am looking for help on one of my chickens who's walking like a penguin. I did some research on this subject on this website and it appears that I'm not alone in this. I gave my chicken a soothing, relaxing, epsom salt bath which she seemed to enjoy. I'll have to watch a couple of youtube videos before I proceed with the next step.

Hi Kathy, I hope you are able to help your hen! Sounds like she's eggbound.

Hello, Kathy, and welcome to activity here. Sorry it's not for happier reasons. One big reason for a penguin stance is egg binding.
