australorp chick laying down strange

[duncanthepumpkin]

my 5 day old chick keeps laying down funny, she sticks one of her legs out to the side like sits kinda lopsided. she also lays down more frequent than her sisters. I've also seen her pant twice. i dont see any visible injuries and she walks fine and seems healthy. should i be worried?

It sounds like she is sunning herself. Does she put out a wing too at the same time?

not really, but it could be just her way of sunning i guess?

Check her over for any possible injury, but it sounds like she's just relaxing. My chickens sprawl all over sometimes with their legs sticking out everywhere.
