My chickens are so loud

[ElectricLeaf]

I don't know why, but I went into the coop and my 7 weeks old chickens were chirping super loud and were running up to me when I came in. I don't know what is wrong. Are they ok?

Is it possible that something is in the coop that is spooking them?

What do you mean by spoiling? They just have a trough of food, a bucket of water with the sideways sippers, and a roost. Obviously that's not all, but those are the only things I can think of that would spoil them. My mom says it also might be because we normally take them into our backyard this time of day, but aren't today.

Sorry meant to type spooking.

lol, my bad. I don't know. It's fully closed, but it might be a wasp. I just spotted one by their coop.

They may have been happy to see you is all. I haven’t hand reared chicks in almost 2 years and the last time I had chicks was when my Gamefowl hen went broody last summer. Her chicks were only loud if I picked them up because they called for their mom.

They're also very frantic and running around, I think it was a wasp that scared them.

a bucket of water with the sideways sippers,

These kind of 'sippers'?
Have they been using this waterer for quite some time.... or is it new?
Are you sure they all know how to use it?

The ones I have are a slightly better version than that. They know that that's where they get their water, but they don't quite know how to push the silver thing.
