I once slept on the couch because our itty bitty chicken fell asleep in my beard and didn't want to be moved. May not seem like a big deal, but I have a back filled with multiple injuries, so it was a lot of pain.
She's too big for that now, which is sometimes sad, but spending the night pinned down by cuteness as she trilled and peeped in her sleep was absolutely adorable.
You paint a touching picture. There is a famous picture of a Japanese woman cutting a corner off her kimono rather than disturb a sleeping cat.
Do you think the bird was dreaming? I like to watch cats and dogs paws twitching while they sleep. It seems that dreaming is something that every creature does.
I'm convinced chickens dream. They exhibit the same kind of involuntary twitches and wing flaps that are too akin to a dog running in its sleep to not see them as the same thing.
But chickens are also light sleepers. They'll bump each other and do little trills and whistles to each other. So I'm not sure what exactly she was doing; dreaming or just reacting to tiny movements I was making while breathing.
Ngl, I'd definitely cut off clothing rather than disturb her in her sleep lol. I'm getting a reputation for being the crazy chicken guy because I talk about them so often, but I love these damn birds.
I keep wanting to record our pet hen doing her dream movements and sounds, but there's not enough light in her indoor "coop", so it ends up just being sounds. It's freaking adorable though. She'll take little naps on the arm of the couch, and do it there sometimes, but she gets woken up too easy to get a good recording of it.
I've had a lot of backyard chickens, but I've never had an indoor one. Have you trained her not to crap all over the house?
