I have a little red barnyard hen, she's yung and sweet, but I'm so confused with her r behavior because I've never had a chicken act like this.
When when first got her she was a few months old but got along fine with the other hens but she'd always try to get inside the house, she'd give up after a bit and go do chicken stuff. After about six months it's started to get really cold and we brought her in when we found her alone outside and put her in a crate for a few days till it warmed up.
I put her outside, thinking she'd go to the other hens, but she just wants to fallow us inside. When she's out she doesn't act any different from the other hens, aside from sticking to herself, but instead she just sleeps a bit more and stands in one place without trying to get out- the crate can be left open but she won't leave.
I keep thinking she's sick but she doesn't have any symptoms, she eats and drinks, her poop is normal ECT. Her comb is red but she hasn't started to lay so I don't think she's broody. I've also wormed her.
She also likes to be pet, if that means anything. Kinda acts like a duckling.
I hope I've been clear, any advice would be appreciated.
