Hello BYC!
I have a 3-4 year old Easter Egger named Jenna that has a weird habit of roosting in the roosts all day long while the other chickens happily free-range!She only comes down when she sees me and when she wants food and water,she does occasionally forage with the others!This hen has Never started a fight with any of my chickens,she is super peaceful! I used to think she does this from the cold,but when I really think about it she does this in summer too!This hen has never been abused in any way,in fact she was the very first in my flock to follow me around everywhere!Does anyone have an explanation for my hen's odd habit?
