The Hen House: What are they thinking?!?!

[MamaGer8ty]

Sooo I have a total of twenty chickens now and my first original ten are six weeks today. All of the twenty are outside enjoying the coop and run together. So far, everything is good, they all know their place and get along. Our coop is pretty big and my lovely original ten think they still need to be huddled up together. I got a picture of all ten in one nesting box ready to go to sleep for the night. I started busting up laughing when their heads popped up to see what I was doing. I hope they realize that they can’t do this forever.

The flock that nests together stays together.

Super cute!

It's 100% normal and pretty entertaining.
If you want to avoid them sleeping in the nests and making messes in there you need to block them until they are close to laying age.
