Why so LOUD

[MrsHall28]

My 7 week old chickens are SO LOUD when it is getting close to bedtime. Is this normal? Will they outgrow it? They are not too loud throughout the day, but starting around 8:00 until they go to the coop they are squeeking and chirping ridiculously loud non stop.

They are probably a tad bit nervous about something...maybe nervous to go into their dark coop?

They will outgrow it.

It is normal too for them to purr at nightfall at that age. Kind of a trilling noise.

Mine have always freaked out at bed time. They get especially loud and chatty. The oldest are almost 3 months old and still do it.
