Just joined first attempt at back yard flock have 19 black Australopithecus. They are now 6 weeks old, today was the fist warm day above 70, let them out to their run for the first time and had a weird reaction, a few of them keep throwing themselves on the ground and opening wings, what is this?, are they not used to the sun? Or the wind?

It sounds like your young birds are dust bathing, that's normal.

Thanks for joining!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
They were dust and sun bathing. It's time to leave them outside in their coop.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. I agree that they are most likely sunbathing.
