Screaming at night

[Inell]

My girls started screaming at night when I put them in the coop. No threats! They also seem to be scrambling over each other for a spot. They do this weird, head butting thing to each other. They have a night light and normal temperature.

Ages? How big is the coop for how many girls? How long have they been in there?
The headbutting is kinda like a submissive position.
Have you checked for mites or other pests?

The coop is new so maybe they are just not used to it. I have 3 hens around 6/7 weeks old. Coop is around 9 feet

They'll figure it out.
