Sitting pullets

[Gammas Bearded Babies]

We finally have a break in the temperatures here today. Only low 80s! Nice breeze!
And all my 7 to 12 week olds are sitting! They are NEVER LIKE THIS!
They are always coming to me, chirping, etc.
Only thing they have had different is watermelon.
Could they possibly have eaten too much and it's causing them to just sit around?

Do they look like they are in distress? Puffed out, open mouth breathing? Or are they just enjoying the nice summer day/dust/grass etc?

Only my darkest one but she's been panting since 70° days. The rest are all sitting together in furtherest corner under their coop.
Even my d'uccles are! And they r NEVER still!

I just hope I hadn't give em too much n it kills em! My 9 months cockrel is only one standing and he has complete liquid poo.

How long have they been living outside, could it possibly be cocci? I haven't heard of chicken dying from watermelon, mine get it all the time in the summer, but I guess it might happen

I've just never seen em this still before.
Of course after watching dorm couple hours they hadn't moved and I posted this they would end up getting up doing their usual...
Guess they were enjoying the nice day! Just hadn't seen em ever do that but we've been hitting 100 a lot this month.

So sorry for the false alarm...I just panicked cause I've never seen em not moving.
They are all moving now!
Guess they were being lazy! Cu they r all chirping away and back to eatin!

It's normal for young birds, or older birds to have lazy moments.

kinda like people, they just run out of steam and need a rest.
