A couple I used to know would switch off a light and a couple of minutes later it would turn back on. They'd switch on a light and a couple of minutes later it would turn off. After staking things out they discovered that their cat would jump up and wrap its paws around the switch.

I wish it were that simple. It's in my spare room that no one stays in that it always happens in. My kids go in there once in a while bc I keep some of their toys in there, but I'll turn it off on The way back from putting them to bed in the next room over. Then I'll go to my living room or kitchen or go do something else and when I go back by on the way to my bedroom to go to sleep I'll see the light back on shining from under the door. I only had two dogs in the house until recently and I keep all doors closed bc I don't let them go in any of the bedrooms so I really have no explanation. I always just tell myself I must've just thought about turning it off or maybe the kids snuck out and went In There for something (but my house is small and they have never come out of their room and snuck up on me despite numerous efforts, they're just not quiet lol, it's really just impossible to do in my house) any way I just go on about my business but it really creeps me out when I think about it. That's the only room it happens in too!

Is the actual light switch toggle flipped or just the light off/on from where you left it? Try taping the toggle off/on and see if it continues? Maybe you have an electrical problem, or could it be part of a 3 way switch and someone hit the other light switch toggle?

It's flipped back on. It's happened a very random 4 or 5 times only. Pretty sure it's not electrical.
 
Tape it down and see what happens

Right!? I didn't either but now that I do I need them lol kind of want to buy like a dozen or two and hatch them and grow them out and see what color eggs they produce (since naturally I cannot sell them as day olds :p ) but that's a lot of chicks to grow out lol
 
:yesss:Candled again and saw movement in all six eggs. If they all hatch I’m going to have too many ducks! The air cells were so scrambled when I got them I thought for sure none would develop so I ordered 4 lings from ideal. :eek:

The boy dog has issues. WAY too high prey drive. I put sheets of plywood between the duck pen and the dog yard. The boy is very dejected.
