OMG! So funny! I thought it was just my chicks! When I bring them in from outdoors, they fan out their wings and flop over! They do look dead! I had no idea!

I JUST posted a question about this because one of my chicks looked drunk after she took a dust bath...I had never seen her act like this before. She would clean her feathers, walk a bit, fall over, push herself up, and repeat. I was worried that she hurt herself while she was bathing, but I guess this is normal. These crazy little chickens!

I love to go in there and tap on the screen and ask, Is anyone dead in there!! I know that sounds morbid, but I always have to assure myself they are just sleeping

My husband just reaches in and pokes them.

Sorry, I have to keep this one alive-I'm having too much fun!

Here's a picture.

She seems to be asking, "Are you okay?"

Or, she's thinking, "I wonder if I can snag those bits of chick starter off her chin before she wakes up?"​
