Chicken roosts/sleeps with head hanging down. Is this okay?

One of my younger Polish pullets sleeps on the roost bar at night with her head hanging down by her feet. She
is completely normal and upright at all other times of day. Just wondering if I should be at all concerned by this, or if others have chickens that sleep this way. Thanks!

Completely normal. May have a crink in their neck. I have a rooster who used to sleep like that.
 
Hi, welcome to BYC!

Most of my chicks did that at 1 time or another. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

Good luck!
