Problem with chicks

[Master S.M.C]

Is it a bad thing when the chicks extend their leg and wing outwards going down, what exactly is happening (are they just stretching)?

 

[Chickenfeet]

They are just stretching my dear!! They are discovering all of their little parts, like a baby finding their toes for the first time. Cuteness!!

Yep- they are stretchng- like you see cats do, it is pretty funny looking...

 

[DawnSuiter]

Oh gosh, yes, stretching.

And also you should know.. when they sleep, they look dead sometimes.

isn't that cute

lol... I love when they stretch out their wings.. it's like they are showing off!!!! I especially like when it's contagious and everyone in the brooder feels like they must do that too.! Like a yawn!

Totally stretching!

Just wait until they start flapping like crazy and running around like possessed little creatures... lol.

I know, one of my Brahmas sleeps on the perch with her head slung over it hanging down which is scary but I know she is okay.

They have already started one of the JG's almost completely flew out of the brooder, they also run into their perch

LOL!

mine hit the lamp in the brooder some times. Little stinkers.​

Sometimes mine sleep on their sides with one leg stretched out behind them. Kind of like they are just lounging. It's funny!

They LOVE to do this when you change their bedding. They will lay on their side and dust bathe in the bedding it is SO cute. If you pile up the bedding into little piles, they love it even more!
