Why does my Silkie hen sleeps everytime i pick up?!

[moonsafari]

I have a three-month-old silkie pullet. All my other chickens don't do this, but she closes her eyes and sleeps every single time I pick her up. Any idea why she would do this? Otherwise she is very active on the grass and runs around when left alone.

If she is healthy, and active, I wouldn't worry about it.

Likely it is a survival reflex or a left over chick reflex which some chicks have of falling asleep when held on the back and tummy stroked. Or, she is just very, very chill with you.

I hope she’s very chill with me
