So I decided to put lights up in my chicken run just because it gets dark earlier and side note, my ladies have always put themselves to bed, every single night like clockwork, they all have their little spots inside their roomie coop. Well with the lights on they all aren’t going in their coop. These pictures are from an hour ago. I just peaked out and they’re all roosting and sleeping in their run. I won’t let them sleep out there at night because the neighbors chickens got attacked by raccoons in the middle of the night and unfortunately two did not make it. But I find it interesting with the light completely fine outside and have no desire to go into the coop. Any thoughts on this? Even the ducks are sleeping. We were doing some work on the outside run last night and my husband forgot to turn off the light inside the coop. I noticed on the cameras they did not sleep like they normally do with the light on, I felt bad. But outside with the light on, they’re all resting and sleeping.  Right before I started this post. I went out and turned off the lights, five minutes later they are putting themselves to sleep inside the coop. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

For all the rude ppl- he always attacked my husband and we let him be bc i took care of the chickens. He spurred me through my blue jeans and then chased me. I will not have a rooster that attacks me or the kids especially after raising them and not provoking him in any way. I was literally just standing there like i always do and he started attacking and wouldn’t stop. I was backed into a corner and currently 31 weeks pregnant. I’m not taking a risk of him attacking my children. He didn’t go to waste and didn’t suffer. I have already blcoked several ppl and will continue as needed. This decision wasnt easy for me to make. I have to think of my children first.

Well my once sweet Elvis attacked me. We had to cull him. I’m very upset. Can I please see some funny/favorite pictures of y’all’s chickens for a pick me up?

What would you do?

Small silkie rooster found in water troph, he was found around 5:30pm and in northern America, the water is cold and so is the weather. I dont know how long he was in there but I'm guessing 2 hours max 45 minutes least he was not moving when I picked him up but was still breathing. Currently being blow dried with warm air, I will be putting him under a heat lamp and crossing my fingers. Any input on what to do? I am guessing he is hypothermic. How would you help him recover?
