Weirdest Things Your Chickens Have Done

[Tired old Rooster]

Dewy, my younger rooster, got in one of the new nesting boxes and was scratching around as if he were making himself a bed. I didn't even have these set up yet, just stacked there for a minute till I could get them into place. Silly bird, nesting boxes are for hens!

My previous roo did the same. Probably his one good point. My roo, Galoot probably couldn't get in to a nest and turn around. He might end up stuck and I'd have to pull him out by his legs.

My black sex-link hen has been walking around the coop recently and picking up every feather in the coop and throwing it on her back

I never saw this behavior until recently! My Black Star was sitting on eggs that I wanted and she started trilling while tossing pine shavings on her back. Crazy “momma wanna be”!
