I reckon this is funny/cute to me since Im new at raising chkns but 2 of my girls will get low on the ground and start scratching the dirt/sand kicking it up on themselves. They look like they are taking a sand bath. There wings get so full of sand. Does anyone else's chikns do this? Im sure yours have some not so strange behaviors to those of you who have been doing this for awhile. I just discoverd yesterday due to reading the posts that chkns also "sunbathe" I thought she was sick. (she still could be, she hasnt layed in over a week). The egg laying process is interesting to watch. My Wyandotte gets all big, you know like when you puff your chest out from inhaling. She also sounds like shes panting although its really low. I remember panting to get my baby out too. I reckon its a similar process/ a big head/egg through a tiny hole. Oops sorry, I digress.
