Hen with pink eye

My little early-birds are demanding to be let out @ 5.45 currently and this will get as early as 5.30 as sunrise gets earlier and that's with a tarp covering the cube. Little monsters don't go to bed till nearly 9.00pm either (and that got as late as 10.30 last summer!).

 

Wouldn't mind but the little heavenlies were initially happy to sleep till much later, till the big girls taught them their bad habits

As late as I can get away with! After a few fiasco's lately, I breathe a sigh of relief when it gets to 8 without a peep. So they were out as usual at 9 again today. I was a very bad owner last night - I had forgotten to open the cube door and they couldn't go to bed. I wondered why they hadn't gone - they didn't even whinge!

around 8am

My lot are up and about at 5am at the moment, I leave the Eglu doors ajar so that they can get out themselves. It was 9.40pm when they decided to roost last night.

 

By June they will be up at about 3am and probably go off into the Eglu about 11pm. The eglu doors will stay wide open then, 11pm is way passed my bedtime.

It's about 8am most days.

Petra is sooooo loud that I'm waiting for the complaints from the neighbours soon.

I have even found a future home for her with Ashtons Green Poultry should the need arise

She's so sweet too, & sits on Alexander's shoulder like she's a parrot & is really tame.

I leave the door open so I have no idea what time tey are out. They were too noisy when the door was shut and were waking the neighbours

 

Glad someone else has no idea when their chickens are out

At the moment I let mine out at 6.30am but once my "FoxWatch" arrives I plan to leave the ladder down at night so that they can come out when they want protected by the FoxWatch hopefully. They will still be fully enclosed by our Ark and run so hopefully should be ok.

When I leave the door open I have seen them out feeding soon after 3.30 a.m. on occaision, if they spot me thought then they start demanding treats

I get up and work until about 7am, weekdays, and then let them out to keep them in a routine . At weekends it's still up at 7 though but then back to bed with a cuppa:wink:
