I have some wierd Silkies. There is a 7 month old rooster that stays by himself all the time. He just stands there staring out at the road on his right foot all day long. (His left foot is fine, he can walk around on it and everything) Sometimes he stands on a concrete block, but always on his one foot and always staring at the road. At night, he goes into the pen, next day, same story.
We also have another one, not sure yet if hen or rooster. This one got hurt when he was about 2 weeks old, attacked by a wild hen and we kept him very close to us while he was recovering. He could sit on a little pile of paper towels at the computer etc. Now, every time I go into the yard with long pants on, he grabs the pants in his beak and tries to pull me away. If I'm wearing shorts, he runs at me and starts pecking at my shoes, feet or anything else he can grab. He just started this a week ago after behaving very nicely for several months.
Any idea what's up with these guys?
