Brittle Hen
In the Brooder
Ok my chicks are about 6 weeks old and I've been putting them out during the day and bringing them in at night this week because the weather has been really great but its too cool at night. About 8:30pm I went out to check on them and they were extremely loud, I've never heard them that loud before. I thought maybe they are just "hangry" well I gave them food and they ate and that didn't do it so I ended up bringing them back in their garage "apartment". What am I doing wrong? Should I close off the area where they can walk up and roost? I've already blocked off the nesting box area. HELP! PLEASE!
