Does your Silkie do this?

Its important you give silkies the opportunity to roost by providing them roosting bars lower than 12 inches. But its typical for silkies to have no roosting instincts, particularly when they have no standard breed chickens to learn from, and instead they prefer to cuddle together for security.

My 5 silkies are all scared of heights! They have never perched and I don’t think they ever will. It’s normal for silkies not to perch. Ive never had a silkie that has perched... ever!

I have three silkies born back in August 2023 they have always slept cuddling up together. I have provided perches but never been interested in using them. They love been cuddle up together

Why do my Orpingtons prefer to huddle together on the floor instead of roosting or using their nests at night? How should I design their coop?
