Those are pretty barred rocks for your avatar. Do you have one rooster in the bunch? I have three barreds myself but all pullets. Sure wish I had bought one roo when I got them, lol
Yes it is very common for them to do this. Our highest roost position is four feet from ground level and they do this on a nightly bases. It seems with our flock of 14 they all want the same spot at the same time and some will even walk over or under the others to get to the spot. At times...
