Wierd chicken behaviors.

Best guess is it's chicken camouflage. Usually you'd see this with a hen on a nest during or right after laying.

I too think it's a throwback to an earlier time when hens used to cover their nests after laying.
 
Poor girl. Sounds like this whole “gonna lay an egg soon” thingie has her all confused. Mine wasn’t quite sure if she should dust bathe in the nesting box or move each and every piece of straw to a new location. It happens. Kinda cute Huh
it is, i have 9 Isa browns and im getting alot of eggs per day now! (I also have 7 other older hens that stoped laying but I couldnt get rid of them so now I have chicken pets!)
