What is wrong with my chicken?
Our take
Is your chicken standing oddly and limping, but still acting like a happy feathered friend? You’re not alone! Many chicken enthusiasts have faced similar head-scratchers when their beloved birds start displaying unusual behaviors. While your chicken is still eating, drinking, and even laying eggs, a change in posture can be concerning. It’s great that she’s comfortable with you handling her, as that suggests she’s not in severe distress. However, identifying the issue can feel like a game of fowl hide-and-seek. From potential minor injuries to subtle health issues, there are several possibilities to explore. Let’s dive into some ideas that might help you figure out what’s going on with your quirky companion!
 | 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! [link] [comments] |

- 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]

- Help with leg injury - video but not disturbing.I got this hen from a local woman who couldn’t care for her. I’d like to try my best to rehabilitate her. She said she came home and the hen appeared to have a broken leg it was all sprawled out. She had her for a week and a half injured before I got her. I believe she’d been laying on the ground for that time and could not stand even on her seemingly non-injured leg. In this video she has no wrap or splint and she keeps both her legs way up to her chest and when she is on the ground they stick out in front of her. She has open wounds on her elbow joints where she was laying like that. I now have her in this harness 24/7 to keep her off her legs and have makeshift splints to keep her legs stretched out. I’m wondering if anyone has had a chicken do this and what might have helped? I’m really hoping she can make it through and walk again she’s so stinking sweet. submitted by /u/CarefulLifeguard7647 [link] [comments]
