Not good.

When I became an electrician, my goal was to never feel the voltage. That didn't last long.
I was working in the electronics lab repairing weld timers. There was a loose wire in a firing panel I was holding and got hit with 480 VAC. The only thing that saved me was I was holding it with both hands when the bare wire touched the metal housing. Otherwise it may have stopped my heart when the current passed across my body but the potential was the same in both hands.
My fingertips were scorched and I felt very strange for days.
After that, 120 is very mild.
I've worked with everything from millivolts to 40,000 volts DC and 33 kV AC.

Ok that hurt. Worst I've had was 220. Stupid mistake I won't make again.

By pile do you mean together side by side or on top of each other. A good coop won't allow them to be snatched that easily.

On top of each other

Strange it sounds like they are scared of something. Have they done that before.

Ok it's a comfort thing for them. As long as your coop is strong they will be fine. If you are too concerned keep checking on them.
