So I'm in urgent need to get these chickens to calm down, they were one week old when we got them and I've had them for two weeks. They've done absolutely fine indoors. We upgraded their box just a few days ago to where they have more than what is required for them at their age. Just tonight, they've started chirping constantly and rushing to the corner of their box and huddling together, which inclined me to believe they were cold (Even though it was around 80 degrees, what I was told it should be for 3 week olds) because I took one and it was kind of shivering, so I lowered their lamp (heat source). Now it is about 85-90 degrees in their and they're still doing it. I've tried talking to them to calm them down, adding more wood shavings, and just about everything. They've been doing it about two hours now and I just don't know what their problem is. Does anyone have any ideas to calm them down?
I have 8 by the way, I probably should have mentioned that earlier.
