I always check on our "kids" before going to bed. A few nights ago, I went to bed really early, even before the kids went to bed. I woke up around 2 am, and went out to check them. No reason to go out, but I couldn't get back to sleep until I checked. In reality, their run & coop is safe, but I want to be assured all is well. These chickens were supposed to be hubby's hobby. I didn't want them but now, I go out daily to set, talk, treat and play chicken "mom".I always “tuck” my chickens in at nightfall, which is right around 6pm now. However, I have to attend an important meeting tomorrow and won’t get back until around 7:15. Their run is predator proof and it is attached to the coop where they can go in and out at will. There will be a light on in the coop until I get back to close up their pop door and turn out the light. My first time not closing them in at dark to settle in for the night. I guess I just need reassurance that this will work out…funny how I treat them like my kids…lol. What do y’all think?
