So I have 5 hens and 1 rooster, I have a pretty amicable relationship with the rooster and now it seems that he has decided to become very aggressive towards me. He is going on 2 years old so I don't think that this is him reaching adulthood, any ideas why? I recently changed their food, is he...

My chickens have been outside for a week or so just during the day, this weekend they moved in permanently and they don't seem to know to go into the roost at night. Me and my husband have been moving them in at night but my question is when will they know to go in themselves?
