Anyone else's birds throw temper tantrums when they don't get their way? My girls get let loose in the backyard on some days, but not on others (when I'm not home, inclement weather, etc) and today is a no-free-range day. Lately I guess I've been letting them out most of the time and they've gotten used to it because they are pitching an absolute God awful screaming fit. They have full food and water, I tossed some scratch in to forage through their bedding for so they aren't bored, and they're just ignoring it to stand at the door screaming.

Anyone else see this type of behavior? Do I just get to be serenaded by screaming chickens forever on days they can't be let out now? Send help.

Pic unrelated to pay the chicken tax. (The one up front, Radagast, has observed the dog tapping the door to come inside. She now spends most of her free time staring inside and pecking the door. I love her. Also yes, my door is disgusting, I clean it weekly but between dog, toddler, and chickens it's filthy on both sides always.)
