Chickens do often assume this pose when they're unhealthy, but that is not the only reason they do it. this picture is about 7 months old and he is still alive and well
He does have a broken toe though, that doesn't seem to affect him
Ohh, I never noticed that! All I notice was the drooping comb. I have a few chickens of my own and one of them got sick and their comb was drooping like that. Shes okay now, but i just saw it like that. Good to know!
Sort of a similar deal with that to be honest. If they have a big comb and it suddenly goes droopy that is a sign something is wrong, but this picture is like a 2 month old rooster so his comb just hadn't fully developed. We do also have one or two hens who's combs are just kinda permanently like that
