The morning before last, I went out to the chickens at quarter past seven in the morning and saw the automatic door open on the coop and the chickens tumble out. I wanted to photograph it so I went out yesterday just before quarter past seven, but the door was already open and the chickens were out. It must have been a darker morning, the day before. I was annoyed with myself as I had been doing indoor chores because I didn’t want to be waiting out in the cold too long for the door to open. I decided to try again this morning and went out at five past seven. The door opened at ten past seven so I had probably just missed it the day before. Once again they came out in order of size with Dotty first, quickly followed by Pepper. Bluebell was next and today Treacle didn’t come out in quite such a hurry. Bluebell looked back in as if to see what was keeping her, then Treacle was out.<\/p>\n
