Well I moved the girls into the new coop 2 days ago. I still have to get some roosts installed but I had to get them out of the garage. Well last night as it started to get dark they started making their distress noise. I went out to make sure that all was well and they simmered down when I gave them some clover but they kept looking up at the main screened in vent area near the roof. Since I've had them they've been in a screened in cage without a top and able to see all that is around them. Now they're in a big locked box with no view and obviously distressed about the entire situation. And it makes me feel terrible.
As an interim solution I put a long board in at a diagonal that they can use to get up near the double screened window to see out. Of course a new big item from the "HAND" added to the distress for a bit but they quieted down after a while.
This morning when I went to check on them I found 5 chicken faces peering out through the screen. I think that they'll be getting a high perch to be able to see out now. It was adorable.
