Chicken with a weird walk and moulting?????
« on: November 21, 2014, 16:28 »
Hi  Doodles is a cross Suffolk hen, think she is now 5 years old and known as super chicken for her fab eggs, she stopped laying as usual when she comes in to moult, this time however in the last few days she has started walking strangely, she does not seem to be in any distress but keeps dipping her left wing and seems to want to walk stooped closer to the ground than the normal upright position, if she walks across a 10ft stretch she might dip about 5ft in, then keeps moving sometimes in small circle loops to get to where she wants.  I have examined her for any wounds, she does not feel like she has any egg stuck anywhere, she is eating well, but I do know she really hates the moult and feels the cold (one very miserable chicken) any ideas?  Will go and check to see if both her eyes are working but cannot think of anything else   :wacko:
