My chicks want to come in!

[Melissacoop]

My girls are about six weeks old. We’ve had them for five weeks. They free range when we are home in the backyard. We live in South Florida. The temps are in the 90’s. They stay close to their coop. They respond to our voice and usually come out of the bushes when we call them. I’ve tried feeding them tablescraps but they don’t seem to want anything besides their feed and mealworms. Recently they began coming to the patio door. They see us inside. Do you think they are lonely and want to come in the house?? They are all currently hanging out and looking inside and making a lot talking noises. It’s adorable. I’m just not sure about the meaning??

Just as people can enjoy "chicken tv" chickens can enjoy "people tv." You're interesting to them and they're curious as to what you're doing.

LOL, I put a fence around the front door to create a poo free zone,,,

They want more mealworms....do not let them coerce you.

I wouldn’t mind letting them come in but our house runs at 73 degrees. I’m afraid they will get too cold!

Not to mention the poop, dust, etc....
.... and the slippery slope of letting them in then trying to keep them out.
