She walks backwards.

I have recently noticed one of my two hens walking backwards.
It doesn't last long. Usually 6 or 7 backward steps.
Is this normal chicken behavior?

It is normal for some chickens. I've seen some of my Wyandotte bantam females do it before, and they were perfectly healthy. If the backward-walking behavior occurs really often, or gets worse, though, your hen could have a neurological problem.

Thanks, I was a bit worried. Will keep an eye on her.
