Are my chicks okay?

[iliketang]

So I put new bedding down for my chicks and when I went to check on them all of the bedding was kicked out of the housing I'm keeping them in. I also noticed they were doing something strange like shaking while laying down then they would kick their legs out like theyre scratching. I tried to attached a video but I can't. Just want to know if this is normal or if something is wrong. They're Easter eggers. And 2 weeks old

I'm not sure what's up with your chicks without seeing the video, but I'm here to tell you that you have to upload the video to YouTube first (it can just be a private acc where anyone with the link can view the video.) Then you embed the video here. I know it's annoying, lol.

They are probably dust bathing! So cute. I remember I thought they were dying when I first saw it. I'll see if I can't find a video.

That thought didn't even cross my mind when I first read that. I assumed the worst, lol. But I bet you're right.

Did you see my little cockerel dust bathing in the video? Is that what you're seeing? Seems so long ago now.

After spiraling and googling/YouTube it seems like that's what they're doing. Poor girls guess I'll put a dust box in there for them to play with haha

 

[Wainbowmudd]

Haha yes they will dust bathe in anything that is available

That's probably where all the bedding went! I'll bet they flung it all out dust bathing, lol. Have fun with your babies!
