Do Chickens Sleeps A lot In Winters?

[Saaniya]

Do chicken head early to bed?
My chicken start sleeping by from 7 pm or 6:30 pm

But they usually don't sleep on this time in summers ..
Is it normal?

 

[chickens really]

They don't necessarily sleep the entire time, although roost because they have bad eyesight in the Dark..

Greetings from Wisconsin USA to Delhi, India!

I think its mostly the length of daylight that affects their roosting times.

When you cuddle him he may become very relaxed and appear sleepy?

Delhi is very warm I believe so I don't think drafts are a problem.

For the most part they live in a Coop and run area...?
They should be fine if they have a dry draft free Coop...
