Saronne Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Similar thing happened to me: My good friend and neighbour came over for a cup of tea the other week while my chooks were out in the garden. She suddenly looked pale and went very quiet; " I don't want to worry you, but I think one of your hens is having a seizure or something.." It was my Merrydale Sweetie having a dustbath. My friend was very embarrassed when I explained this to her. Saronne x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I was always grateful to this forum for telling me how chickens look when they sunbathe, otherwise I would have been sure my ex-batts were dying when the first did it - eyes shut, lying on their sides, wings spread - I would definitely have thought they were breathing their last, not having a great time!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Love the image of your mum flapping her arms about - almost expected you to say she'd been squarking too . Bless her, it is disconcerting the first time you see them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
