Hen hunched weird on roost. Is it because of molting?

Hey everyone, recently one of my cubalayas has been molting, and she’s acted completely normal and everything until last night I found her hunched weird in the roost, is it because all those pin feathers are coming in? I imagine it’s not the most comfortable.

Is she acting normal otherwise? Pin feathers are very sensitive to the touch, so she could be uncomfortable, or maybe she’s just stretching her legs. I wouldn’t worry about it unless she’s displaying other symptoms.

I've had several birds over the years that spent a day or two huddled on a roost during molting.

Yeah she’s acting totally normal otherwise! She’s been out running around looking for treats with the others as usual! Thank you both!
