Yes, I have big triangular vents on each side of the coop and a thinner one running along the top of one wall, which are exposed during the day and covered up in the evening for the chicks bedtime (with the exception of the thin one)

There is a small vent that is always open which lets a low amount of light in, enough for the birds to see. It is also right where they sleep, so they get fresh air the whole night up there.

When will they grow out of this?

Darn! From this evenings experience, I think I need to get the birds in the coop as soon as the excessive chirping starts, and cover up the vents which let light in. I found them like this a few mins ago, must be getting to the age where they need a higher roost :)

Nope, all is fine for them. I’ve covered up the roof openings to darken the coop before sunset, and she was chirping for about 20 mins and then quieted down.

For the past 2 days one of my 6.5 week old chicks has been peeping like mad right before bedtime. She quiets down once it gets dark out, but for a solid 2 hours she throws a “temper tantrum” during evening hours. What can I do to stop her from doing this?
