sleeping arrangements

[Tecalli]

I've got three young ladies that are now 4 months old, a barred rock, an orphington, and a bantam Amerucana. At dusk they all go into their coop and settle in for the night, with the orphington and barred rock on the roost and the bantam on top of the orphington. That's how they are when I open them up in the morning as well. Is this a common sleeping arrangement? I can see obvious advantages to this arrangement in the winter for keeping warm, but they did it in the hot weather too. I do think its very cute.

ok, that IS cute!

if it doesn't bug them, i guess i wouldn't worry.

my pullets roost in weird places, but now that they are bigger, they all cuddle up on the top roost, hot or not.

birds are funny.....

That's a smart bird, why not sleep on a feather bed instead of a hard board if you can get away with it.

Scooter147, I hadn't thought about it that way but yeah, the orphington is really soft and fluffy. She must make a really nice featherbed.
