🐔❤️ Chicken Therapy… It’s a Real Thing! 😂

Some days, people are just a little too people-y! 🤦‍♀️

That's when it's time to head outside, grab a handful of treats, and spend some quality time with the flock.

No drama, no small talk, no expectations… just happy clucking, fluffy feathers, and a little peace and quiet. 🐓🌿

Sometimes the best therapy comes with feathers! ❤️

😂 Who else heads straight to the chicken coop when they need a break from humans?

🐔💤 How Do Chickens Sleep?

Ever wondered how your flock catches some Zzz’s? 🥚🌙

Chickens have some pretty interesting bedtime habits!

🐓 They roost! Chickens naturally prefer to sleep on a raised perch, which helps them feel safe and secure.

🌙 They follow the sun! As daylight fades, chickens typically settle in for the night and wake up with the morning light.

😴 They tuck in! You might spot your chickens fluffing up their feathers, tucking their heads close to their bodies, or even standing on one leg to stay cozy.

🐣 They love a good flock! Chickens often sleep close together, enjoying the comfort and security of their flock.

A safe, draft-free coop with sturdy roosting bars helps your feathered friends get the restful sleep they need to stay happy and healthy!

Tell us in the comments! 🐔 Does your flock have a favourite bedtime routine?

🐓😂 If you know, you KNOW.

Nothing builds character quite like realizing that rooster means business… and suddenly you’re breaking a personal speed record across the yard. 🏃💨🐓

Some childhood memories just stick with you. 😂

Who else has an angry rooster story from growing up? 👇

🌙🐓 Ever Wonder How Chickens Sleep?

As evening rolls around, chickens naturally look for a safe place to roost off the ground. Sleeping up high is an instinct that goes back to their wild ancestors, helping them feel safer and more secure at night.

A good coop should provide comfortable roosting space where birds can settle in together.

🪵 Provide sturdy, comfortable roosts
🐓 Make sure there’s enough room for everyone
🌬️ Keep roosts away from direct drafts
🧹 Position them where the area below is easy to clean
🌙 Keep the coop quiet, secure and well ventilated overnight

And just like during the day, the pecking order can follow them to bed. Some birds will definitely have a favourite spot! 😂

Once everyone is perched, feathers fluffed and eyes closed, it’s lights out until morning. 💤🐔
