I've been keeping an eye on my chickens tonight because I think someone was messing with them last night, (2 legged) that shut the coop door when there food and water was outside and I'm missing eggs today. I have my window open, hear a noise and look out to see 3 of my hens pecking around in the run!!
What in the world are they doing up at 10 till midnight?????
I guess I have our "new" neighbors to thank for putting up a streetlight less than 20 feet from the coop so they can see at night to get less than 10 steps from the car to the porch, now it's keeping the chickens awake!
Sigh, going to herd them back to bed, which is going to wake everyone up the minute I open the back door, but they can't be out all night in the run! The tarp's going to have to back onto the tractor, maybe that will cut out a little of that bright light. ARGH!!!
Has this happened to anyone else?? Can I call the power company to re adjust the light so that it's mainly on thier yard and not mine? I hated that stupid thing getting put up when it's very inexpensive to just put solar lamps along the walkway and it isn't so un naturally bright.....we're out in the country for pete's sake, not in a suburb!!!
GRRR!!! Thanks for letting me rant!
