Spelling? I don’t know.).

Why is my Chinchilla making noise all day?
Chickens hate being confined during the day. Once the sun comes out, chickens get noisy if they are still cooped up. Chickens will continue to let out a long shrieking sound as long as they feel confined. This can also occur if you have too many chickens for the amount of space.
