Jeffrey Falls was arrested earlier this month after police responded to a call from a homeowner in Louisiana who said there was a nude man in his chicken coop, according to local reports.
When police arrived at the scene, they found Mr Falls naked and attempting to clean the coop’s floor with his hands.
Officers noted Mr Falls had dilated pupils and was behaving erratically.
He admitted to officers that he had done meth and hallucinated, then complained that the door of his vehicle was not answering him when he tried to talk to it.
The homeowner told police he did not know the man and unsurprisingly did not want him in his coop.
Mr Falls has been taken into custody charged with criminal trespassing, simple criminal damage to property and disturbing the peace.
Bail has been set at $900 (£700).
Although methamphetamine does not always cause hallucinations, regular use of the drug can lead to psychosis in some users.
A mugshot of Mr Falls has not yet been made publicly available.
The incident is one of a number of meth-related arrests involving chicken coops in recent years.
In 2018, local news in Arkansas reported that police arrested Dustin Manues after chasing him into a chicken coop and found he was carrying a loaded handgun and 51 grams of meth.
In 2016, a man suspected of running a meth-trafficking operation in Georgia managed to evade arrest by hiding in a chicken coop and using the birds as cover.
He was eventually captured and taken into custody four months later.
