Heya I was wondering if there is anything wrong with me going in and checking my chickens around 12:30/1am? I work the night shift and don't get off until midnight so don't get home until after 12:30 and I was just wondering if it would be harmful to them to go peak and do my headcount at that...

I got some 1 week old chicks from the discount bin at TSC ($1 a chick!!) and they were a random assortment so I have no idea what they might be. I'm thinking I'll have to just wait and see when they grow up but maybe someone will know what they are and help me get an idea. I don't know if they...
