Roosting during eclipse

Who thinks their girls will roost during the eclipse?

I remember an eclipse from when I was a kid, , and the birds did go to roost with a great deal of complaining.

They must have been utterly confused!

I'm not certain, but I think they were exclaiming, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling, the sky is ---------------------------->"

There will geographical prime spots to view, but it won't be total eclipse until about 2025 I think I heard. And still, you have to be in a sweet spot to witness the total even then. I doubt my locations will have any effect on my livestock where We live.

I'm sure they won't around here. New England has the worst view of this eclipse in the US with only 50-60% of the sun obscured. It's darker than that from only the clouds for most of spring!

For those closer to the path of totality I expect their birds will react differently. Hopefully they will post their observations.

I'm in Kentucky. I'll let you know how my birds react.

I am in central Missouri well within the path of totality. Setting up here to watch a harem made up of a cock, hen and a dozen 3-week old chicks that will have a tree to roost in and the ability to free range over about 3 acres.

Totality will be seen for those that are lucky enough. Denver will be at 93%, not sure about here, 200 miles south of Denver.
