MAYBE THEY’RE NOT SO SMART AFTER ALL

We installed the automatic chicken door a few weeks ago and it has been working great (click here to see that post). The chickens put themselves to bed and the door closes at 8:30 pm without human participation.

Until now.

Why, why have they suddenly decided they don’t know how to do that anymore?

The past few days, first one got left out of the coop when the door closed, then two.

Tonight, SIX of them missed curfew!

The rooster stared at the house with his beady little eyes, willing us to comply with his will.

Which we did.

Good grief!
