Our EE, who is definitely lowest in the pecking order, has some very odd behaviors when it comes to bedtime. She started it around six weeks old and she's been doing it for the last twenty weeks, so I think it's permanent. She likes to sleep under the other chickens. Not just her head, but she tries to get her ENTIRE BODY under the others. Some tolerate it and some just want a good night's sleep. The more polite ones stretch out their wing and kind of cover her and then she sticks her head under their breast.
It's actually pretty funny, and when she was still a chick, it was down right adorable. One night she was spying me from between the legs of the other EE (who is about twice her size).
Sometimes you panic when you count the chickens and you are missing one... until you figure out who she's sleeping under.
We already know this little chicken is quite the oddball. Anyone else have a chicken that does similar things at bedtime??
