Hey everyone, our silkie roo Marv started hunching up a bit today. It is raining here and the temperature has dropped about 12 degrees since yesterday. Yesterday felt like 30°C and today is around 18°C. Is he just cold? He is so stubborn and likes to be in the rain. He has been acting pretty normal, eating, drinking, foraging, hanging with his ladies. We are new chicken owners and get a little paranoid over new behaviors!

How old is he?

How long have you had him?

What does his poop look like?

Has it been wet there recently?

Any access to a compost pile, or mold?

Is he still hunched up today?

Does his crop empty overnight?

It could be nothing, or coccidiosis, or something he ate.
