Chicken keeps ramming head into coop roof.

[Serphs]

I went to close my chicken when all of a sudden, one of my silver laced wyandottes started squawking and banging her head on the roof. She did this several times before she feel onto her food, and swung around squaking. This clearly isn't normal because my other chickens were very afraid and ran into the nesting box to hide. I then picked her up and laid her on top their nest, which she preceded to calm down and stay. Is there anything wrong with her? I don't want her first continuing this strange behavior.

Did she maybe get he toes stuck in the door?
Once I pinched a hen's toe with a brick on the garden and she screamed bloody murder.


Keep an eye on her.

Was she on a roost? How did she get up there? Did she fly there or did she just stretch her neck up and bonk it?

Pic of your coop and roost would be helpful

Possibly you startled her?...Start talking before you get close to the Coop...I always knock on my Coop doors to let them know I'm there...I sing or talk as I approach...

I will post pics of the coop tonight. But, she was not startled, she wasn't stuck, and she flew herself into the roof, not just raising her neck.

Sometimes mine freak out too...Something got her moving...
