My husband cleaned the chicken coop today and put in new bedding. He used the same type of bedding as was in there previously. I just went to check that they all went inside for the night and eight of them (including my rooster) were outside. The other chicks were inside but up on a ledge. None were on the bedding. It took both my husband and myself to get the one's outside back inside. Their coop is very predator proof but we went inside to make sure there wasn't anything in there that was scaring them. Nothing. The only thing we can think of is that they don't like their new bedding. Is this common? Is there anything we can do to make them more comfortable?
