The Great Backyard Chicken Adventure, part 24 - Synching Our Schedules

The girls are good with the morning schedule, generally breaking the fast between 8 and 8:30 (no more sleeping in for the Food Lady). I did have two mornings when I needed to get up and out by 7:30…and they weren’t very enthusiastic about it. I, of course, was all chipper because I was going to see them, so I put their food out, opened the coop door, and called hello….nothing. I lifted the roof to check and they both lifted their heads, “Seriously? It’s still dark…”. They always make me smile. In my researching I found that up until World War I, poultry in cities and suburban areas equaled half the human population!
