The girls are not going into the coop! :barnie
Later and later each night
Hmmm 7pm there - my gang goes in around 6-ish, when does it get dark there now?

If I let my gals stay outside they won't go in to bed till 8pm but I bring them in with the horses at 5.
 
I locked mine up at 8 MST
Yep same, after 8 I put the horses up for the night, and then gather the two stray hens that don't go into the hen house, silly girls, and I lock up their door for the night against any possible predators that might get in the barn.
 
It's still light here, most likely going to get dark at 9. I looove this warm weather. I'm already starting seedlings. I have tomatoes, ground cherries, cabbage, green onions, onions, the list goes on and on.
Yes dark here at 9, miserable weather, very wet very cold.

The hens are not going broody like last spring and I think it's the cold dreary weather. It's just been so dull and cold.
 
I got to watch my first tidbit dance, but the rooster got ignored. Made that corn kernal look like it was the best thing on the planet. Poor guy, I thought it was cute. I still need to think up a name for him.

When I was putting the chicks up in the coop, I noticed the hen had somehow gotten out of the "see don't touch" containment zone and was in the general population. Checked all the chicks over, and they seem fine. Before I let them out tomorrow morning, I need to find the way she Shawshanked her way out and fill it.

My oldest hen has been pulling Houdini acts getting out of the run and I find her in the adjacent paddock! Were that fox was...

I can only think that she gets out of the free range zone when I am not looking and have the mesh fence down the get through with the lawn tractor. She must see her chance and make a run for it!
 
Good morning TX 🥰

How are you doing? How is your leg?
Finally got permission on Wednesday to start walking without the boot. So of course it is REALLY sore right now. But I’m trying not to overdo it.

BUT then I remembered that I had saved an orthopedics boot from another injury years ago, found it and dug it out. That feels great and has been working well keeping my ankle unmoving.
So glad you found it, th at will really help. And even thought part of me would love to burn mine, I will definitely pack it away somewhere. Hopefully will never need it, but things happen.
