We are new chicken owners, and we have a mixed flock of 16 birds. They all wake up by 6 in the morning to get out and forage. However, there are four of the birds (three Cochins and one Polish) that seem to sleep in until at least 9:00 in the morning. They act normal during the day, and have not begun laying yet, although the breeder said that they were already laying. We have had them for about two weeks. Is this normal behavior?
