There are 3 Doors!
I was not home last night when the ladies went to bed. Therefore my dear wife needed to close things up. Especially so since we're are not going to be home today and I did not want to have to wrangle them back in the coop. She sent me a text, everyone in bed, all closed up.
The view from our coffee pot is the coop. So I got up this morning and looked out at the coop as I poured my coffee. Usually I can see them milling around either under the coop or out on the porch. No sign of them when I got my first cup. Must be in the big run.
At my second cup, still no sign of them. Maybe they are all bathing together again.
When I saw no one with my third cup, I got curious. So I looked on the camera. No one anywhere on any camera.
My heart starts beating a little faster. Where are they?
I open the window. They are not by the bushes next to the house, so I call out "chook chook".
Instantly two bearded heads pop up and head for the deck from the side of the yard. Next thing I know all 4 are at the back door.
I am then, they came, therefore they must be rewarded.
So how did they get out?
My wife got the side door by the porch, the door to the big run, but she forgot the 1/2 to under the coop. She practically had to trip over it to get to the big run but she forgot there were 3 doors.
I still had to get them back in. In this instance the weather camer to my rescue. A little freezing rain and they ran in on their own. Close the doors and they are safely tucked away.
Easy peasy.![]()

Awe what good girls they are! We had a lunch at work and all the left over salad fixings and pasta are coming home with me for the chooks. They love the surprises.
