Bahaha... the first time we had chicks and they were sunbathing my MIL came screaming in the house that they were dying!

Yup. It's scary but hilarious if you have never witnessed it.

I've had chickens for years and witnessed the oddest things, including one chick that was dust-bathing that I was SURE was having seizures. Even tonight I came home and checked on a broody mom who was supposed to be on her nest. She was in the oddest of contortions on her nest that I was sure she was dead--she must have had her neck wrung by some odd predator that somehow made it into her coop. Nope. She hopped up and ran away when I approached. What the heck?

They will peck and eat the sheet metall Screws that HVACmen/"tin knockers" always drop on the Ground.
