Is my new chicken sick?

[Skye727]

I just got a Mille fleur bantam today at the feed store. She was sitting quietly in the corner and I thought she was so sweet. Her tail is not up so I thought she was nervous. She was fine all day until about an hour ago. Now she sound asleep on my stomach. No other symptoms whatsoever. Should I be worried? Could she just be relaxed? She was in a noisy chaotic environment at the feed store surrounded by huge chickens, ducks and tons of loud and proud bantam roosters. When she wakes up she is bright eyed and alert.

How old

I say give her sometime to adjust to her new home- as long as she eats drinks and no other symptoms - then I wouldn't worry- your new- the surroundings are new- she's enjoying the quiet. Haha- if she doesn't come out of it with new symptoms or stops eating drinking then there may be something there

Don't know how old. Still peeping. Her brothers were crowing.

Ok- based on photos she looks fine- it's all new and she may have been stressed being the situation - so as I stated give her some time to relax and adjust to her new life- just worry if new symptoms appear and she stops all food water intake

She looks like she's hugging you as if to say thank you for rescuing her

Thanks! I love her! I have never had a chicken cuddle!

We have some that will cuddle - she looks happy and content

She's a pretty bird must be Mille fleur Cochin

Someone said she is Mille fleur bantam. No fluffy butt. Wish she was a cochin! My two Cochins just turned out to be roosters. :-(

Well that just pertains to color and size- she looks Cochin unless she's a mix- does she have feathery feet -
