Woo-hoo! Confined birds! I went home last night hoping to see the chickens confined, and sure enough, they were all ganged up at the gate as soon as they saw the car, complaining loudly about not being able to get out of the pen. Yeah! I let them out for an evening romp while I moved a brushpile so we can extend the size of the pen. It's great that the instinct to go back to the roost at night works so well for keeping them confined. If I time it right int he evening, they can have an hour or so of scratching in the yard (not as much as they'd like, I'm sure) and then march back to the coop to be closed in for the night and the next day. What a great arrangement.  ¶ 8:28 AM
