Look Dead, Don't They?

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

OH MY that is pretty funny! I would be freaking out!

OH MY!!!! My chickies scare me a LOT with their "we are dead" naps, but I have NEVER seen it look that bad!!!!!

I would freak out completely!!!!

Yeah, they're pretty freaky, they don't seem to do it as much as they get older. Sometimes one of them does turn out to be dead, I found 2 this way yesterday, one was expected, the other a surprise (hate those kind of surprises!)

Here's a photo of them awake.

I've looked at that picture about 10 times in the past two days. It cracks me up! They look like they've been gassed!! They must have had a busy, busy day.

Haha. My peachicks did that when I first got them. I was scared to death!

Well, that photo was taken on the day they arrived after a plane flight and the 3 hour drive from Saginaw that morning..

THAT is a sign of a warm and happy bird!

OMG! That's too funny!! it reminded me of this picture I took yesterday... Looks like I have a dead silkie... Silly bird! They LOOOOOVE the sun!!

OK, now I'm getting sleepy!

Swampducks--Ack! What terror those li'l sleepers would strike into any mothers heart! It's a relief to know they are doing well in reality.
KellyGwen--What a distressing picture your Silkie presents when she's a-nappin'!!! Wow! Very convincing dramatization--maybe she has a future on the stage...
