chickenlass Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hi everyone... I have just been outside to give a customer her cat back and Tallulah is sort of flat on the floor but eating the grass around her? I'm not sure if she is ill or perhaps just enjoying the evening sunshine? [hope it is the latter] she did get up a bit reluctantly and mooched off with the other two. Is it usual for chickens to lie down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Yes, they love stretching out in the sun or in a dust bath or flower bed. So long as she got up she is fine. Just probably a little disgruntled at being disturbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I thought my chooks were ill when I first saw them do it but when you watch them wriggle with pleasure when sunbathing or having a mudbath its really funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Phew! Thank goodness for that. ....She seems fine again now so I'm sure your right. Its scary being new to chickens as I am constantly worrying about odd/strange behaviour which then turns out to be "normal for chickens" lol Thanks folks.
