What does this behavior mean?

LOL I freaked out too when I first saw this. They really do look like they're dying! Whenever I see them doing this now I run out there though because mine turn extra cuddly and sweet when they crash out. sometimes they'll lay flat on their backs legs stretched out for belly rubs. It's the cutest thing!

Wow! I haven't looked at these pics in a couple weeks and I can't believe how much bigger they've gotten in two or three weeks! Especially the roo, his comb and waddles are SUPER red now and about twice the size! Oh how quickly they change

What breed is the black and white chick in the bottom picture? I have one exactly like that and am curious. Mine is a roo though and very aggressive at 8 wks old.

Looks like a Barred Rock. I have a baby just like him.

i freaked as well the first time out. my RIR roos stretch one wing completely out. they look beautiful when they do it. my pullet doesn't sun bathe, i don't understand why though.

kuntrygirl is right, the black and white is a Barred Rock.
