I’ve noticed the same & very pleased! I only have 3, but I have 1 Barred Rock, who likes to pick (peck) at my sweet Rhode Is. Red, and luckily, she’s usually the 1st one to bed, then my Lavender Orpington in the middle which blocks the Barred Rock from pecking at her.Just a curiousity question. I've noticed that when I go out in the evening to close the door on the coop, my rooster and 3 hens(right next to the roo) are in the same spot every night. For the other 18 it is first come first serve. Does anyone else notice this behavior with their flock?

One night I fouled up their sleeping order by putting one hen in the roost myself & the Red ended up being next to the Barred Rock & she went for her like a Jack hammer, & being on the roost & nightime, there was no escape. I reached in, knocked her down, then she hopped back up in her right spot.
Did you get any other sleeping formation results?
