Chickens - Smarter than you think!

I worked late last night - didn't get done until close to 9pm. Luckily I was at home, but I knew no one had gone to put the feathery friends up in the coop. I asked my son to go out and please do just that. He came back in (after getting his mom and dog to go with him as he was a little hesitant of the dark) with a big grin on his face. "Guess what Dad? The chickens already were up in the coop!" That made me smile as well. Our chickens, only living with us for a week, had already figured out the routine of going to bed, and they were smart enough to know that their bed, and safe place, was inside the coop. Yay!
