My chicken is very unisolated

[IloveChickens3000]

I have 13, 2 month old chickens. One of my Rhode Island red is always uninsulated with the others. I mean that when ever my other chickens are playing or running around then my Rhode island red is always behind. I always have to pick her up and put her with the others. Does anybody know the reason to this?

Do you mean she's slow and can't move very well? Or do you mean she's being shunned by the other chickens?

Does she stand around, not moving, and holding her tail down low and flat?

Does she limp? Is she lifting a leg and holding it up under her belly?

Is her balance off? Is she wobbly?

no she acts completely normal. You know how chickens run after each other? she doesn't do that she just eats grass when the other chickens are running around.

She may just be the contemplative type.

probably thank you.

She might be lower ranked than the others, or just prefers to do her own thing.

I have a group of pullets about the same age and one tends to struggle behind and hang out on her own too. Sometimes you just get one that’s more of a loner. As long as she’s behaving normally and is healthy it shouldn’t be an issue.

Some have more independent personalities. They don’t mind doing their own thing. Some of my favorites in my flock are like that.

Thank you everyone! I thought she might have a problem or something. But she acts completely normal.
