Why is she doing this? I NEED ANSWERSSSSS

[SilkieChickenLover336]

OK so i have 2 seremas and 1 silkie. Well 1 of the seremas keeping going under the the silkie. Like she just goes under the silkie. She just like crawls under her. I don't know how to describe it. Why does she do this? If you need more descriptions just ask cause. But ask questions cause i can answer those better.

So how old are they? If they are fairly young the serama may be going under the silkie because it is a natural instinct for a young bird to hide under it's mother for warmth or comfort... I jus caught my adult blue cochin hen doing the same thing to the adult buff cochin rooster...

I have grown chickens that try to cuddle underneath each other at night while on the roost.

Does it happen at night or during nap times, or just randomly whenever?

 

[sourland]

She's playing hide and seek?

 

[ChickensAreSweet]

She could be cold, or could be wanting to hide because she is afraid, or could be wanting to hide under mama.

I hope that helps. I have seen all these scenarios.

-warmth
-protection
-just for fun

She is 4 (mo) and 3/4s of a months old.​

My girls are 6 mos old and one of the speckled sussex still tries to tuck under the the others on the roost.. seems to be for comfort, warmth or security like when they are chicks. One of the RIRs stands most of the time anyway, so this seems to work out for the two of them.

Seems like it's always my boys that do that. I guess I have some sissy boys.
