I have 11 6 week old pullets and they are just spending their first night in new coop... It has all temporary necessities... roosts, feed, water. After introducing them to their new abode they are raising quite a racket and are acting super stressed. Is there anything I can do or just let them figure it out?
 
My babies always create commotion around roosting time. Even when they were in during the cold snap at around 6 weeks they had roosting drama that could get quite loud. A bird shoving another bird off the roost lol. That being said when they went to spend the first night out I put them on the roost and expected the normal loudness. I let them settle a few minutes. (During which time my sebright fell off the roost terrified my mallard and the sebright 🤦‍♀️ so I had to come back and fix that lol). But after all that and there was some quiet darkness everything was good.

So long winded response, but in short I'd just keep checking in on them from the outside. After the first check or so things should start settling down. You tend to know the squawks where you need to fix something and when it's just drama 😊
