How do your chickens sleep?

[chickloveschick]

Sorry, I just replied a few seconds ago with the wrong post. This is the correct post for this thread. I have 2 Buff Orpington's and they prefer to sleep on top of each other. I call it, the "Chicken Tower." I was surprised to see my chickens sleeping this way. They don't do it every night, but most nights. I am new to chickens and I thought this was bizarre behavior. Apparently, this is normal according to the responses. They crack me up!!!

I am new to raising chickens...I had 4 Buff Orpington chick's in the beginning, one died after a few days. It started breathing kinda funny. Then, I got to experience Merrick's in a poulet. That was pretty horrific. Now, I have 2 hens left. They seem to be healthy and one lays daily, the other every other day. However, I started noticing that Lolly has a comb like a rooster and long waddles like a rooster. She also has a narrower body (lays every other day). I did some research and found out that she may be a gynomorph.

Anyone out there have anything to add about this possible condition? Big girl has a small comb and smaller waddles. Lolly has more pronounced ears as well. My neighbor stated that she has the same thing happening with her 2 hens.

I have two Barred Rocks, sisters. The same thing, one has floppy long waddles and the other doesn't. One is slightly bigger. Both lay almost every day. I'm not familiar with gynomorph. Will have to look it up.
