Weird roosting behavior

[Sarahh_Janeyy]

What the heck are these two bantams doing? This is their 3rd night in the coop with the big birds (about 10 weeks old now) and one of them has been looking down like this all three nights. Any ideas why??

That's a normal sleeping position for some chickens.

Yup. Some people say you can even pull their heads into that position to get them to nod off, though I can't say that's ever occurred to me to try...
