Possible injury

[L66wlt]

Hi.

Yesterday I noticed that one of our young chickens around 26weeks standing with a strange posture. Her bum and tail almost always faces the ground, even when eating with her head down, which usually pushes their bum up. I say this is strange as she is a leghorn hybrid and her tail was always facing up and fanned out. She now walks with a waddle and seems to drag her bottom without it actually touching the ground. She laid an egg yesterday and i wasn't sure if she has injured herself. She has only laid about 10 eggs so still fairly young and new to laying. Her legs seem fine and her vent looks clean and healthy. Excuse the pic she is very flighty and won't let me near enough for a good picture

Thanks

Do you have roosters?
The picture looks like she is squatting in submission to be mated by a rooster.

No we don't have a rooster. She stands, walks and semi runs like that too. She seems a little better now she has laid an egg today but still not 100%
