Hello BYC!
Just now, my mother and I witnessed quite the peculiar event: one of our 3 year old Seramas flew into our house, perched on the kitchen counter, and slowly fell asleep. Now our chickens are free roamers, and never really enter our house, which is why this struck us as odd.
This particular chicken usually sleeps in the coop, although she sometimes favours the trees. She's not afraid of us, but isn't particularly fond of cuddles either. Her behaviour hasn't been out of the ordinary either, except for the fact that she's been walking into our house through the open doors the past few days, along with our rooster.
Today felt odd, however. She entered the house through the same doors, this time alone, while the rooster went to sleep on a bench. It seemed like she was looking for something, so we opened the dividing door to check, prompting her to fly into the kitchen and onto the countertop. She seemed completely fine, she ate and drank, but still appeared to be looking for something. After a while, she laid down on the counter and promptly fell asleep.
Now maybe I am overthinking this, and she just felt adventurous today. However I do wonder if chickens seek out humans whenever they're sick, or maybe scared? Could she be stressed out or ill? Any insight is very much appreciated!
