My 3 little girls are 16 weeks now (went by fast 
) Kept them in the house until it was warm enough here in northern Illinois. Took them out back on warm days. Everything is familiar. Most changes, I make an introduction for them so they don't totally freak out 
... The coop I made them, I move around in the same area every 3-7 days. I let them run around at least 5 days a week for at least an hour. They are healthy and content by my checks on them and their behavior. Tonight they were odd though. I let them out before they go to bed for a bit many nights. So they are used to my porch steps with lights on and the door open with interior lights shining through. It started with one squawking at the screen door and looking in. Then all three. Then they were so persistent, I couldn't shoo them away. Then they started trying to fly in through the screen door windows, followed by the window next to the door. I shooed, scooped and relocated. Finally after a long window flapping event 
, I scooped each one and escorted them into their coop. They voiced their displeasure and trotted up to roost. It was just so bizarre to me. Looking for input. 
... No bad weather forecast and they've been through some good storms. I've brought them in when some people friendly racoons wouldn't leave before. But I was outside with them and no other signs of trouble... Thoughts??? Tia
