Chickens need a lot of movement room. They are social and curious animals that need to roam freely. In fact, a lack of movement and low head carriage can lead to depression. They may also start to even appear depressed. This can be a sign of unhappiness with other illnesses.
Chickens may also engage in natural behavior such as dustbathing. This involves them digging a hole, sitting in it, and burying themselves in the dust.
