Okay, I have 6 chickens that are all about 10 weeks old.
I moved them to their coop about 1 week ago. They seem to be adjusting well and have finally discvoered their roosts.
The problem is at duck they cry(chirp) profushishly(cant spell, sorry). I have to phiscally put them into the nests boxes on the bottum level(the coop is 2 levels) so they can go to sleep.
Last night they were all on the top level and ramming into the corner, into eachother, and on top of eachother. I had to stick a pole in their and push them toward the edge so they would jump off to the bottum level andthen they went into the nest boxes. Except they all wanted to get into the same one, not enough room! I had to put several of them in another nest box, many times until they finally settled down.
Is this normal???
