Chick Laying Down??

[BellaBlueBell]

I have 3 orpington (2 buff, 1 lavender) that are 7-8 weeks old. They just moved into the coop and run and are doing well. However, a behavior of the lavender girl (Violet) seems odd. She lays down often, kind of rolling to one side or the other. Just lays there for a few minutes, pops up and starts scratching around as usual. She eats, drinks, poops and moves around normally. I've not seen this before and wonder what's going on. Any insight?

Might be dust bathing?

Just dust or sun bathing.

x3, sunbathing or dust bathing, completely normal.

This post was extremely helpful! I was really concerned when my hens started doing this today, then once I read the responses, it was obvious that was what they were doing!
