Chicken walking like a penguin
Our take
Meet Elvis, a charming hen with a personality as distinctive as her name! This 1-2 year-old feathered friend has recently developed a quirky new way of moving—she's waddling around like a penguin! While this amusing sight might bring a smile, it’s not all fun and games, as her fellow hens have started to peck at her, prompting a rescue mission indoors. Although Elvis appears to be in good spirits and maintains a clean appearance, her new waddle raises questions. What could be causing this change in her gait? Is it a temporary quirk or something more concerning? Let’s dive into the mystery of Elvis’s penguin strut and share insights to help this clucky gal feel her best again!
I have a hen, her name is Elvis because she has a black comb that falls over. She’s 1-2 years old. A few days ago she started walking like a penguin and now she will waddle around and eat, but the other girls started attacking her so we brought her inside to see if improves, does anyone know what could be causing this? She seems fine with temperament, she’s clean, I just don’t know why she is waddling now.
