So we have this chicken we raised from an egg and called Sparrow for some reason and she's really ugly but we love her because she genuinely has a good personality and is a KIND chicken.
Anyway back to the point. Last summer when she was a pullet it was really hot out so we decided to see if she'd like a dip in a little bath. Well, she did. We used a large red bucket, filled it with water, and placed her in it. She floated quite happily until she'd had enough and then jumped out.
So she hadn't gone for a 'swim' for a while (she'd gotten quite good at it) because winter but today we decided to see if she remembered how and lo and behold, she did.
It wasn't just the swimming that's weird. Afterwards, we put her on her back in a towel and she sunbathed for a solid 15 minutes, eyes closed, wings spread out. On her back, I remind you. We wrapped her in the towel, and she continued to 'meditate,' happily swaddled in the towel, bathing in the sunlight. She also let us rub her down with the towel, making soft rumbling noises of content.
Is our chicken normal? Should we be slightly concerned, or let her live out this lavish lifestyle at our expense?
