Did it frighten you for a moment? I think that I would have paused to watch for breathing and then let out a big sigh of relief! I just love watching them fall asleep, it is so comical
My chickies are 3 weeks old and don't sleep like this, but it's STILL funny to watch them fall asleep. They try to fight it, and it just never works out for them haha

One of my chicks were sleeping like that and my daughter came running in saying one of the chicks may be dead or dying....I went and looked and told her it was just napping. She said they should sleep like my roo does and not look dead. Poor kid was so scared. Poor chick woke up to being stared at..lol
It freaked me out the first night we had chicks, I was probably in 2nd grade and my favorite little one, Clementine, was on her side with the paper towel over her head. I freaked out and got my brother and my mom and they went in to look and she was up and running around.
I am so glad I saw this picture yesterday, because otherwise today I would have had a heart attack. It had been quiet for a long while, so I decided to go check on the babes. 3 of them were sprawled out like that on the bottom of the cage, while the other 3 were all snuggled up on the shelf. I would have thought for sure that 3 of the chicklets had died some horrible death at first. However, I just giggled on their weird sleeping habits. So cute!
