Chickens Laying Around?

LOL. Ah yes, the dreaded dead chicken sunbathing pose. Wing out, straight leg, eyes closed, all crooked. Goober birds. Mine huddle and snuggle in the warm sun in the run in the winter. Usually it's three of them cramming into one good dust bathing hole or warm spot. First one that flinches is out of the game. Then there were two monkeys jumping on the bed.

When I brought my
Chick’s outside for the first time and they felt sunshine on them for the first time...they laid on their sides held out their wings and
Collapsed flat for about 4 seconds then jumped up & ran around...wished I would of had my video on.

you want to come home to a sight? Come home to a whole herd of alpaca splayed out on a sunny hillside like there's been a meteor strike. You think a dust bathing or sun bathing chicken looks funny or bad. Imagine 140 pounds of fluff going at it.

Ya. All my neighbors are city people moved to the country. I have to explain everything. I don't mind, it's educational. But trying to reassure them that, NO, the pacas are fine. No, they're not dead. No, they're not sick. Yes, I'm sure. Then I give a whistle and they all spring to life and come running looking for food.

My poor neighbors.
