when is your chicks "bedtime"?

[shaggy]

i've had mine outdoors since friday night

i've been shooing them out at 9am and putting them back in around 8pm

tonight, they made their way back in at 5:30pm .... sounds like a reasonable bedtime

i originally thought they were 4 weeks old ... now i am guessing they might be 1 week younger than that

My make it out in the morning when I do ... LOL. However, around 4 or so they go in for a while but come back out in the evening one last time. Its 8 pm here now and I see a few picking at the grass and in the pigs pen. Mine do however, put themselves up by nightfall!

usually when the sun goes down. but some of them really dont care about what is going on, they go to sleep when the feel like it.

My girls are 3 months old, +/-. They're out between 6 and 7 am, and in by 8:30 at the latest. The past few nights they've been putting themselves in. Sometimes they need a little help. If my son is putting them in during the week, they're in at 7.

My girls 'might' be in the coop at 8:30, but I can't get near it to close them in. As soon as they hear me coming they all scramble out into the run. Anything after 8:45 and they stay inside.

My younger girls (3 months) are usually in bed around 7pm but the older ones until sundown. I make sure they are locked up by 9pm right now because the run isn't as secure as I'd like it yet for nighttime. As for the mornings, lol whenever I get up which is usually between 6 and 8am. My babies in the brooders...lol are awake all the time it seems.
