Best Answer

Yes, chickens sleep at night. All creatures need to sleep. Chickens roost, which means to get off the ground and perch on something above ground level. This allows them to sleep in comparative safety. Chickens will seek the safety of the chicken coop or any shelter provided and settle down until just prior to daylight the following morning.
