my chicks go crazy at twilight

[jaxia]

I have 2 chicks approx 4 weeks old and we have just put them outside in the coop 2 days ago. At twilight they chirp loud and constantly! Today we finished the run so as they are going nuts pacing back and forth staring at me I decide to go in and talk to them. I crouched down and they actually jumped in my lap and on my shoulder just squawking away at me. I put them to bed in their coop thinking maybe thats what they wanted even tho i know they can get up the ramp themselves. This is abnormal for them. They aren't fond of being handled yet. Any reason they are doing this?

They are probably still nervous about living outside.

Ok I can see that. Im comforted that they do see me as a safety zone if that is the case. Cuz when I was just bringing em out to a pen they would run away from me my barred rock is fine once I catch her but the other (that we think is a rhode island red) is loud! Even when I grab the barred first she was in the coop just hollaring at me. Lol very very vocal bird. I wouldnt b surprised if she chirped in her sleep. Lol

Mind did the same thing for a few days after putting them out. They are just scard of a new place. They will settle down
