Afraid of the dark?

my chickens at dark make a dogpile in the corner. I thought it was becease of the cold but it has not dropped below 70. there has been no sign of a predator. it seems to be a dark corner is that what they prefer over roosting when they are 4-10 weeks old

They will get it after a while. Without a hen to teach them, they take a little longer. Chickens don`t see well in the dark and huddling together is normal.........Pop

Thats why you can loose many of them in a single night. Thats also why wild suburban chickens tend to roost by streetlights.
