Do chooks sunbathe ?

Hi,

it may sound a silly question but do they ? as i have two of mine which are laying on their sides on the lawn with a wing outstretched, they seem very content lol

yes they love to relax in the sun - first time I saw it I thought one was dead and went racing over, just for her to open an eye and give me a disgusted look that said "What?"  

thats a relief lol, at the mo there are 3 all having a dust bath together and the 4th laying there like the queen of sheeba ha ha

Yes its great to watch them.

even our chicks are bathing think that's their 'how to be a chicken' lesson for today

I need to charge the camera first but I'll post as soon as I can

They learned how to roost on Friday, on the rabbit run and dust bath yesterday, in the veg plot, lost a couple in the cloche too they've also learned to stay away from the pond thankfully 

all my 6 girls sated doing it when they had thier first outing (ex-battery) poor thing had never seen the sun or ad a dust bath they mow do in at apprx the same time every day its like their aternoon nap so funny to watch but they have the area dug into holes each has their own hole but ots all worth it much pleasure in having them in the family when asked how many kids i have i alway include them into the list hard explaining it to non chicken lovers
