I haven’t been able to convince any of my friends from other social networks to join me on #nostr. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And why do my hens lay out in the sun like this?

One moment I look over they are drinking water, next moment i look over and think they are dead. 🤣

They're trying to have a dust bath. A dust bath is how they keep away mites. If there's a good sandy/dusty area for them to roll in, you can also sprinkle some diatomaceous earth in that area to help them prevent mites.

Interesting they pick a grassy area when I already gave them a bare sand-filled spot to do that. Guess they don’t like my gesture. 🤣

That is kind of unusual, havent seen mine do that.

They weren’t moving at all like they would normally during a dust bath. They are physically okay. Meanwhile my other 3 hens were over in the shade like smart birds. 🤣
