Help! I have two chickens both about 5 months old. Problem is they (or one?) are very noisy in the morning - getting gradually earlier as it’s summer here (NZ). One sings the egg song from 5.45am very loudly for a good half hour. I feel bad for my neighbours (I’m on an urban section with close neighbors) and the kids and I are getting fed up of the early wake up call!
I left the coop door open the last two days so she can go down to the run but no change.
I don’t know why she’s bawking - maybe wants out of the run (they free range most on the day as the run is only 1.5x2m approx)?
Maybe she’s missing her friend who tends to be in the nesting box?
Maybe she wants the nesting box - I only have one?
Should I try to keep the coop dark for longer??!
Any ideas gratefully received!
