Overheated?

It is currently about 60 degrees and sunny where I am. I brought my almost 5 week old chicks out to play and a few of them were laying like this in the sun. I assumed they were overheated and brought them to a shaded area, but I’m not entirely sure. They’re doing fine now. Thoughts?

No worries they were sunbathing.
It's all ok!

I just brought my chicks outside for the first time and they are 3 weeks they looked like they were having a great time but periodically looked like that and then after awhile they all did it at the same time and I got freaked out and brought them back inside. I thought maybe they were too hot too.
