Chicken walking around in a weird position
Our take
Oh, the delightful quirks of our feathered friends! It sounds like you've spotted a chicken in a rather peculiar predicament. That odd walking style, especially after a full squat, can certainly raise some questions. The fact that she seemed startled and then adjusted her gait is intriguing, and it’s great that you’ve already taken proactive steps by placing her in a cage and checking for egg-binding. While it’s possible that she just experienced a moment of fright or an awkward landing, keeping an eye on her behavior is wise. If she continues to walk oddly or shows signs of distress, it might be time to consult an avian vet. After all, our cluck-tastic companions deserve the best care!
 | I noticed her walking around like this, it was a lot worse before I took the video she was in a full squat just kind of hobbling, something startled her and she started walking around slightly more normal but she still walking a bit off, should I be concerned or what should I do? I already caught her and put her in a cage, I checked to see if she was egg-bound and I couldn't feel anything or see anything [link] [comments] |

- What is wrong with my chicken?Any ideas? Hard to get a video. She’s standing so weird. She was limping a couple days ago but I didn’t think much about it. No bubble foot or mites. She’s happy and lets me hold her and manipulate her legs/wings with no issues… she’s eating and drinking and has consistently been laying-even today.

- Help! Something is wrong with one of my little ladies:(Hello, I’ll start by saying I’m a noob and have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance for any help. So a couple days ago we noticed one of my favorite little chickens was standing kinda funny. Over the past day or so her walk is definitely different and she seems like she’s having trouble getting around. She’s almost straight up when she walks and just doesn’t seem very coordinated or able to do her normal chicken stuff. Anybody know what this is? I want her to be ok so any advice helps. Thanks. submitted by /u/woooowthatwashard [link] [comments]

- Update: Chicken still sick, can’t walk or stand. She can perchMy poor Pickles went to the vet, laid an egg, (I thought she was egg bound), she’s been getting around the clock care in quarantine, but she still can’t walk, she can perch on a dowel, but that’s it. She is eating at least one scrambled egg a day, not really drinking but if I string water over her beak she drinks. Her poops looked normal this morning, yesterday they were mixed, some normal, some watery. It’s been 6 days of this. WTH?? This is her little set up. Any ideas? submitted by /u/LemonyFresh108 [link] [comments]
