Ok I have two strange chickens...
The first is a RIR pullet. Twice now I've observed this behavior: Walks up the ramp about 3/4 of the way, jumps off the right side, goes underneath, cranes her neck up to look, jumps back on 1/2 way up, walks back up 3/4 of the way... repeat... repeat... she did this over 10x in a row as I was sitting there.... Wut???
The second is a Spitzhauben cockerel: Only seen this once, walked over to the sandbox, leaned on the wall and went straight to sleep for about a minute. I watched him a little more and he seemed ok. So a grabbed him and put him on my lap and he zonks out... he NEVER does that, always a fight when handling him. Squawking, fussing, flapping... you know how some are. He sat there for about 2 minutes - eyes closed, head down. I stood up to take him to the house and the fussing started. I put him down and all seemed ok... Wut???
Ideas?
