One of my brahmas is doing something weird...it's molting, so I'm wondering if it's just trying to get fuzz off or something. It's doing an odd chest-down swimming motion. It's almost like a dog rolling in dust, only in the pine shavings. Is that normal?
 
Probably. They can show several signs when molting that the feathers bother them, perhas itch or hurt, during a molt. Somtimes a "lap chicken" doesn't want to be touched at all during her molt, then returns to the lap when through with it.
