Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[choppish]

any reason why a chicken would go from being friendly and strokable... to being very shy and not strokeable at all.

 

could this coincide with the pecking order changing. the hen that used to be friendly is now definately the least dominant.

It could be. Has she stopped laying?

[choppish]

all is as normal otherwise apart from the none stroking side of things. laying as normal.

eating as normal. ( although missing out on some treats due to others new dominance)

 

and seems perfeclty healthy, although will crouch but will run from me before i can bend down to stroke her. but doesn't squat as much as she used to.
