What hens do at night

I snuck into the chicken coop and took a photo of the hens after they'd gone to bed.  This is what they do at night.  There are six of them - two Plymouth Rocks, two Rhode Island Reds and two Golden-Laced Wyandottes.

They climb a very steep ramp moments after the sun goes down so I never have to put them to bed.  You've heard the expression, "When chickens come home to roost...." -- well, that's what it's referring to, the way the chickens will go back to their sleeping place at sundown.

Then they jump up on a roost, face the wall and sleep. Here there are a couple peekers because I was intruding, but usually all six are turned away from the door, away from their window, away from the nesting boxes, just away from it all.  And you wonder why I find my chickens so amusing!
