If anybody knows what's going on here please let me know I'm honestly pretty scared. I have a video link below showing what's going on. Is she trying to just bathe, is this some sort of parasite, disease? I really have no idea and I'm honestly pretty scared.

it looks alot like she's trying to dustbathe but she won't stop
(I have separated her from other chicks)

I know that freaked you out but she stands normally and she seems very active and playful. I wouldn't worry too much but you can keep an eye on her and if she seems like she's struggling to stand or eat, check back in. ❤️
 
Thankyou so much everyone! I was almost in tears 😅 She is trying to dust bathe. when I covered up the part she was scooting on she stopped. I put her back with the other chicks and I'm going to get them a dustbathe later tonight.
Post #3 is accurate... get her back with her flock asap! :thumbsup

There is nothing wrong with her. She is a normal, healthy, active chick. Chicks scratch around and dust bathe. Put her back with the others.
How long has she been doing this? I would give her dirt to bathe in to see if that scratches the itch, so to speak.
