the chickens come home to roost

Having chickens that always come home to roost is a good sign of a healthy and well-trained flock. It means they feel safe and secure in their coop and are returning to a familiar and comfortable place to rest and roost for the night. This behavior can also help protect them from predators and adverse weather conditions.

When your chickens come home to roost it means they come back to their hen houses to rest.

It means that bad or silly things done in the past are beginning to cause problems.
