This is a Black Sex Link hen. 5 months old.
I noticed she walks like John Cleese in the ministry of funny walks. That's the best description I can come up with. She is stiff legged. I do not know what this is.
I have a video. Toward the end you can see the walk I'm referring to. She seems off balance too. Like when she just stands there, she shifts here weight on her peg legs.
I don't feel anything swollen or hard.
When I go to pick her up she will lay down as if she's waiting to be bred.
I do not know if she is laying. One hen is laying soft shelled eggs, and my guess is its her since she's the only one acting weird. I can isolate her to find out, but right now, I am not.
I do not plan on taking chickens to the vet. If it's something I can treat myself, cool. Otherwise, I can end their suffering. Any ideas?
