14 weeks old - sleeping in a pile like puppies

[Nicole01]

I had to make the roost's 10 inches wide and 12 inches wide and the roost meets at the corner. The 8 girls pile up in the corner and all sleep on top each other. They are much happier this way.

They all want the spot right inside the corner too.

Well, I'm glad to hear mine aren't the only ones. And yes - I think the puppy pile is adorable. I've tried putting them "upstairs" but I don't have the energy to do that every night. They seem fine, and it is definitely cooler downstairs. They seem happy and are definitely healthy, so I'm not going to worry about it. Today, they are 15 weeks old! I can hardly believe it.

My big girls are 27 weeks and they are a pile of chickens even in their dustbath.

my chicks do this because the older chickens don't let them sit on any of the roosts, or even the nesting boxes xD
