Every night when The Girls head into their house and onto the roosts, it is the biggest fiasco you have ever seen. Several hens will be sitting quietly, and another hen will decide that she wants to sit between hen A and hen B. She marches over the top -- kind of reminds you of old-time wrestling where they guy is stomping the other guy's face into the mat -- hens fall of the roost onto the poop board, and chaos ensues for a time. There is a lot of squawking and carrying on before everybody seems to get where they like and settle down for the night. Still, instead of everyone spreading out (they have 24' of roosts for 12 hens for heaven's sake), they're piled on top of each other and look very uncomfortable. Sometimes they'll roost in the same order and locations (on one end or the other, front or back roosts) and sometimes it's just a random arrangement. Do your chickens do this, too? Is this normal behavior?? It's pretty comical to watch!
