The girls will stay out until 7:45, even 8 on a sunny day and tend to go into the barn earlier in gray weather. It was gray yesterday and I was doing some stuff near the front of the barn just after 7. One of the Cubalayas came out the barn door about 35' away and stood there squawking at me. I went down and she preceded me to the coop squawking the whole time. All the girls were in the coop, most came out as we approached.
I think she was saying "
We are all waiting in the coop, where is our bedtime snack??!!
" because the noise stopped when I put out the usual pre-roost time scratch.
