Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

But is it really truly that horrible? Birds sleep different from humans, they only sleep half the brain, the other half remains alert I have heard. So she is likely ok.

This is why you can't sneak up on a sleeping goose! No matter how much you want one for the freezer!

I have read that about fish and possibly some birds but I haven't heard it about chickens specifically. So which half is always waking up then? Sounds like both halves!

Cholo's a handsome guy but he doesn't like me in his pen. I think because I have handled Gorda a few times and he's super protective of her.

His gal his territory

Yes, and Phyllis has to be getting ready to defend her position again, since she's near the bottom with only Betty under her, she must be ever-vigilant!

But,….. she’s Phyllis!

I read that chickens sleep half brain at a time and keep one eye open. I must admit I have failed to observe that in my flock. What I do observe is they don't sleep like cats - they wake often and fidget.

That’s my little town, but even awake, they only use half a brain!

The nature of things had a documentary on about sleep and they discussed birds.

Guess I need to check out Google tomorrow
