What are some strange habits your chickens have?

[CHlCKEN]

Chickens are weird, there's no denying it! Some of the things they do are just a bit dumb, but we love them for it. Do your chickens have any strange habits worth sharing? I’d love to hear about them

Mine enjoy laying eggs on the roof of the coop, God knows why this has become such an esteemed laying spot but it is what it is.

They also sleep up there, hence the overload of poop.

I have no pictures but i have a hen who is obsessed with watching us in the kitchen. Anytime we do dishes or cook shes up at the window pacing and talking nonstop to us. It's funny ill give her scraps like lettuce and tomatoes and whatever veggie ends i have and she wont touch them. But as soon as i fling a shred of cheese her way she catches it mid air. She doesn't even like bananas or watermelon!
She also loves to jump on my shoulder and pick thru my hair while im talking to a neighbor or who ever is over. She has to be a part of the conversation.

Not sure if this counts but Pippin thinks she can walk through the chicken wire. Whenever she wants to go back inside after Free-ranging, she presses herself up against the fence and tries to walk through it.
I have to pick her up and show her where the door is

It’s not all that funny, but Mochi the silkie always comes up onto the deck when free ranging, then can figure out how to get down.

A few of the hens like to also dust bathe in the deck pots. They spray dirt everywhere. I don’t have any pictures though.

My legnorn flies out of the run every 2 minutes, and then just looks at me like "what ya gonna do?"

Another thing is that some of the chickens just can not seem to deal with our lawn when free ranging. Even though we have nice, green, grass, and plenty of bugs, they just won’t have it. No matter what, they always go into the neighbors yard... and scratch/dust bathe in their garden.
Luckily the neighbor is super nice, and doesn’t seem to care much.

Kiwi the chick loves to "kiss" me (painful pecks on the lip)

I have a male that kicks the door to their pen open. Literally.

One chicken, Sam, always pecks at the camera when I’m trying to take pictures. (For gender guesses) this time I do have photos!

Mochi (the silkie) scratches 50% of the bedding out of the nesting box before she lays... every time.
