My 11 month old hen is standing and walking like a penguin. I noticed it yesterday but was preoccupied and it was more of a "that's odd"...today it's even more pronounced and I remembered reading about it. I have a picture 2 days old when she was fine.
I've googled it and as best I can tell, there's nothing not bad it can be. She's 100% NOT egg bound. She is our most reliable layer...every day I have an egg from her. Shes eating and drinking. She's running around with the other chickens. I'm not sure what to do. It's not a good pic, but best I could do today.
The bare feathers are from overzealous mating.
From what I've read, everything that causes this also stops them laying. But like I said, she lays every day.
PLEASE, anyone that has ideas, please let me know.
