Hen playing dead?

[MacFarmer]

Our hen has not been well but seems better. But, yesterday she started the strangest behavior. She will act completely normal and then just lay down on her side and literally look dead. After a bit she wakes up and all is well. What is this?

Looks like she is sun bathing. Or taking a dust bath. My chickens favorite things to do, second to treats of course!

Cute video. Sally is fine. She's just sun bathing. Mine do it all the time.
