‘Brownie’ my Amberlink laying weird.

[Bear1978]

I’ve noticed my 10 week old Amberlink pullet has been walking up near me the last coiple of days and laying down like this for a few seconds when I’m around her. Is this part of the whole submissive/egg laying squat they do as they get closer to egg laying age?

She's just sunbathing.

Thanks! That crossed my mind too!

 

[AltonaAcres]

It freaks me out every time too

I love my chickens but they’re weird!

She's just sunbathing.

Or 'lounging'.

I’m thinking lounging is more appropriate. She comes out of the coop, stretches her legs and just flops down on the ground like this and just lays there for a few seconds lol
