Birds not effected by dark they stay out in it

[cary 1973]

well about 10pmish last night I was about ready to let Uncle Buck Palsgrove have his wish to turn my chickens into pies, Ugh dam birds did not go into coop (this has been on going for last 3 nights) I got Lilly into the coop and then rounded the other 3 up after about 10 min of fighting with them then I shut the chicken door did head count through window I only had 3 chickens in there where did Lilly go well found her asleep on my bed in my room so I opened big door to put her in coop and Phoenix ran out cough her put her in little bit got out cough her went to put her in and phoenix and Cheerios tried to make a run for it. the girls hear some four letter words so did the dog as they decided they needed to start a barking song right when my last nerve was hit. fried chicken sounded real good last night with a side of Dog hamburgers

Thursday night I was asleep and a little after midnight I heard a rucis out side in the coop so I went running out and there at the bottom of coop eating water bugs with just the moon light after finally getting all 4 birds back on roost I shut all there curtins turned off all porch lights I could they finally went to sleep,

My birds don't go in when the sun goes down and its dark out side they discovered that's when the good bugs come out anyone else have birds like this If I don't do something soon my neighbors may have me committed

My dad says let them stay out all night but I am worried that makes them vulnerable to the cats in my hood
