Today one of my chicks was on its side, kicking the sawdust like crazy! All the others were climbing all over him and pecking. They often kick to get to food buried under the saw dust, but this one was on his side.

I am assuming he was having some form of dirt bath?

 
That's exactly what it is. Practice dust bath!

Ya my chicks also did the same thing when they were young then when we put them outside they dug a hole and did what the chicks were doing in that video
