So I decided to get only 2 chickens. RI Red is bound and determined to get out. She's pushed open the door, squeezed through tiny bars of the cage and she is currently spending all her time searching on ways to get out. I've shored up every side, but it's still looking and hoping. Mind you, this is a professional chicken cage from a farm. I had 10 baby ducks in this cage for a week and no one ever escaped.
Chick 2, the barred rock, is my screamer. Other chick too far SCREAM! (technically that's been helpful) RIR eating food/drinking at the same time SCREAM! She does falls asleep and then RIR jumps on her and SCREEEEEEEEM! She does get quiet eventually but when she's angry watch out, she is loud enough to be heard upstairs behind 2 closed doors.
They live in a cage like the one below (mine's 30x30), with 2 of those quart waterers (one with electrolyte, one plain) 1 quart food dispenser. I covered their cage partially to make it more cozy and put in an empty tissue box to see if they wanted to hide. It's 95 degrees as per one of those heat detecting things my husband has.
Is this normal or have I brought home 2 devils?
