ChickenOut

Huddling together

I’m four days old now and after another morning pecking around the shed I am having a rest. When we’re tired or scared some of us chicks cuddle together to stay warm but it’s hard to sleep as it’s bright all the time from the artificial light.

FACT CHECK:
Throughout their lives, chickens will naturally congregate together for security and perhaps warmth, especially when resting. In intensive broiler sheds, almost continuous bright light may be supplied for the first few days of life to enable chickens to find food and water.
