standing on one leg

[Jody]

I notice one of my chickens is often standing on just one leg. Is this normal, or unusual?

Freaked me out when I first saw this as I thought "Oh no, it only has one leg" cause I didn't see it cause it was tucked up under feathers.

Could be cold, an injury, or just standing on one leg. Catch her and see if she's shivering, then check her feet for lumps. If you don't find anything like that, no need to panic.

One of my 3 ex-battery chickens does that alot! I worried at first, but she's not cold or got any lumps etc, it must just be something she does!

Perhaps she wants to be a flamingo when she grows up? lol

Mine do it too once in a while...
