I will once I get home from work (about 6 hours).

Here's one when they were a few days old in the brooder box:

As they have gotten older, they have started laying closer to each other (almost on top).

My 6 youngins used to all pile into the same nesting box at night. 3 on the bottom and 3 more on top of them. Ever since the "dog incident" that took 3 of our girls...the remaining 3 still sleep together. Although, the older they get, it's getting harder to share the same box. It's funny to peek in at night and seek 2 chicken butts and one head staring back at you. I just hope when they start to lay eggs they don't try to still share the same space.

I have 6, 9 week old hens and they all chicken pile in a corner of the coop at night to sleep, and through out the day when in the run or free ranging, they will stop to do a pile for a few minutes before moving on to more grass and bugs. It's cute, but they are so big now that I feel bad for the small one on the bottom!!

All I can see of the poor rooster is his tail feathers sticking out one end and his head sticking out the other.

my eight 6-week+ olds dogpile each and every night on the little platform in front of the pop door. I have to 'shoo' them into the actual coop because they stuff all eight of their fat little bodies (they are FAT, compared to some I have seen on here of the same age) onto a 12x12 inch platform. It's pretty cute, although somewhat annoying

I have 2 Silver Sebrights and a bantam Buff Brahma and bantam Black Cochin that dogpile in the entrance of their night-time lodging (it's the Duck House, but the ducks never use it) every evening. I have to shoo them inside, too. They don't hesitate when I do this, like they're WAITING for the official "Go to bed!" order. Like Featherz, I think it's cute although somewhat annoying.
