Chickens have a unique anatomical feature that helps them stay secure on their roosts while sleeping: their toes automatically curl around the perch. This reflexive action, combined with their locking mechanism in the tendons and ligaments, ensures that they grip tightly to the roost without conscious effort. Additionally, their center of gravity is low, which helps maintain balance while resting. These adaptations allow chickens to sleep safely without falling off their perches.
