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.Does anything else seem amiss? As long as she seems healthy and the coop or brooder are all okay, I wouldn't worry. Keep an eye on her and make sure nothing changes. But maybe she just has a lot to say and wants to get it off her mind before bedtime
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 roostOur little pullet does this as well. She complains when it is bedtime. She and her brother are inside (they are tiny bantams and it's winter where I am) and until it's completely dark our Squeaks (who lives up to her name) will moan and carry on most piteously. She started it when she was around 6 weeks old as well. She's just turned 8 weeks old and she will carry on for at least 20 mins, just like your little chick.
Not unusual for hens to make a ruckus while settling down on roosts at night.
