She's a 4 month old buff leghorn, I walked up to the pen just now and she was "running" but it kinda reminded me of when a dog scoots their butt on the ground, she was very low to the ground it was incredibly strange... She is also preening a whole bunch and keeping her body fairly vertical even to eat which also looks very strange.. i can try to get a video if that helps.
Its my first experience raising chicks so I have no idea what is normal for first time laying an egg, but that wpuld be my guess. She got a big scare last night being shut out of the coop at night when the wind blew the door closed, She ran a lot when I tried to pick her up even in the dark (leghorns :/). I worry maybe if that could have ruined the egg making process if thats what it is... no idea...
Wasn't sure if this is an emergency/disease post or not so sorry if its in the wrong spot!
