What I came home to tonight.

Just got home (1015pm) and first thing I do is check my chickens who are spending their second night in their coop outside. I look inside and see my 3 RIR but my 3 white leghorns ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!! I kind of start to panic a bit. I look through the coop and run top to bottom 50 times. Thinking maybe these girls didn't want to go inside for the night. Still can't find them so now I really start to panic. I look inside and out for any trace of predators entering. There's absolutely nothing. I go back inside the coop and stop for a minute to collect myself and think. Out of the silence of night I hear little faint chirping so I walk over and look and this is what I find....

They scared the hell out of me. I'd thought I'd lost half my flock after just 2 days of being out. Thank god it turned out to be a little funny.

LOL Cute story. Glad it turned out alright. Funny how they separated by breeds. Leghorns must really be really sneaky???

I thought my wife was playing a joke on me once I found them separated. Although all 6 grew up together they do seem to segregate themselves. The RIR's do their own thing together and the leghorns the same. Very rarely do I catch all 6 in close quarters.

I have SLW and RIR. They surely do have different personalities. Your picture was cute too.

Oh definitely. I sometimes wish I would have gotten all RIR's. They're so mellow and fun to watch. The leghorns are pretty sassy.
