Hi there fellow chicken lovers!!
My girls are in the garage in a 6' x 6' temp house and are doing wonderfully. Last night however, after dark we had to go into there, had to turn on the light and it disturbed them a bit. They calmed down quickly ( with my coo's and love, youd laugh if you herd me!!!) but when I turned the light off they were obviously distressed. I put on the red heater lamp to give them light (away from them a bit as its warm enough here in FL) and they were happy with that. My question is, when I put them out in their coop in the next few weeks, should I put in a small night light or some thing. It realy was quite pitifull to hear. Any sudgestions welcome please - thanks!
