So I have chicks ranging in ages 5 weeks youngest the rest are 6.5-7 weeks We live in Florida and it’s so hot! Like 95-101 hot. They are in the closed run all day 7am-8pm for a week now and absolutely LOVE IT! They won’t go up ramp to coop not sure why. But perch on ladders and bars in the run (it’s sand and shell and dirt mix). They eat and fly and play and sleep. Then when it gets dusk to dark 1-2 chirp soooo loud! The rest lay down. So we have been putting them back in brooder box at night cause it breaks my heart to see some cry. We turn on heat lamp away from box just to give a light glow for night light and they sleep peaceful all night.
We have the light now facing run and still those few cry. Why do they???? How do I make it stop.
