The ladies do like to congregate by the French doors. I think there are a few main reasons.
- Wind Break: the house and the fence block of the northwest wind which is our primary source of wind.
- Heat: The house does bleed some heat. It is warmer next to the house
- Rain Protection: the is a small overhang that keeps the rain from the door
- Human TV: sometimes I think they like watching us as we watch them.
- Food: that is where the interesting food comes from
I believe you’re right on all 5 counts Bob! I keep having to remove my girls and Sammy from the Battery box under the bed of the 5th wheel. Sammy keeps telling the girls it’s a great place to lay eggs, of course it is also part of the big coop where the treats come from, so it must be safe and wonderful. I try to remember to close it up before I let them out, but every few days I forget.
