maybe he's just telling you it'll soon be Spring and is enjoying life?

Have you had a close look at his feet to check if there isn't anything in there?

Just yell ACHTUNG and see if he stops, stands to attention and salutes

You know what, he's not the first to join the ministry of funny walks! We had a chicken last year that only walked sideways like a crab, seriously it was so funny, but she was otherwise healthy, lasted a fortnight then she was fine!
We now have another hen walking like hitler, so funny but my guess the ground is wet and muddy so she takes her time putting her foot back on the ground! dont cull him just 'cos he walks funny :chook:

No I wont cull him I kind of like him. no the problem is I wanted to use him on some of my hens, He is a Buff Wyandotte Bantam and I have three Buff hens for him and at the moment he is in cloud cuckoo land and is showing no signs of being serious.

Thats fantastic I will name him Basil, He.s been like this for about a month or so, I would say that at first he was not so bad as he is now.
