Dealing with the Dinos π¦ π¦
Mild weather + coop closed = disgruntled rooster π
We were very late opening the chickens' door to let them out into the run this morning. . In subzero temperatures they do not mind but today's forecast is well above freezing and we were an hour and half after sunrise. . When our eldest teen went out to get eggs the rooster charged him and the door got left open, this video is what momma Jess encountered 10 minutes later
Although the chickens have an automatic door opener, it runs through its batteries pretty quick and with their indoor winter habits, we haven't bothered to replace the batteries because we are usually out there early enough to open it for them manually
