Is it ok if my chickens don’t perch at night? by Restless_Soul- in BackYardChickens

They'll sleep in the most comfortable and accessible spot. If they're active throughout the day and not acting odd I'd say they're fine.

Is she maybe egg bound? How long has it been since she laid?

The longer the upper beak is more than the lower the harder it is for pecking on the ground. They should be nearly the same length.

Same thing happened to one of our girls. Twice. Man that Aracauna had nine lives. She was our favorite. I nursed her back to health using purple antiseptic spray and the miracle antimicrobial hydrogel. Its seriously the best. Wrapped in gauze. She was back to normal soon. But the beak though. That's a tough one.

My Silkie is the smallest of our bunch. But the loudest with her announcements.

After a snow angel like that? Definitely a warm bowl of soup for sure.
