I have a polish chicken who has recently stopped sleeping on a perch. We had a broody silky hen who has raised a few chicks to 10 weeks and has now gone back to the perch. Is it possible the broody kicked her out, or should we worry about the polish no longer sleeping on a perch? The baby chicks are still sleeping in a nesting box, and there is plenty of perch space for her. My son did take the highest pole down because one of the hens was being pooped on at night. The Polish is now sleeping on the ground below by the perches. Seems like odd behavior all of a sudden? Has anyone else experienced this?
