Hi everyone! I notice that my 6 eight week old chicks make a ton of noise when they start settling in for the night on their roosting bars in the coop. Sometimes the sounds are wierd and frantic. Eventually it goes totally quiet. I had a few questions about chickens settling in for the night...
- do chickens have set spots on the roost over time? Mine seem to always be jockeying for good positioning although the last two nights I notice two birds on the ends were in the same positions as the night before
- is the roost space closest to the windows typically a favorite?
-do chickens typically get down for water or food during the night? I keep two small containers in with them but if chickens do not eat at night perhaps I should remove the feeder to prevent pests?
-are those frantic sounding chirps normal? It sounds intense for a few minutes and then dies down.
Thank you!
