Safe and sound.
It’s just a few min after sunrise, but the girls have been awake in their coops for a couple of hours, eating their breakfast, drinking some water and then laying your breakfast.
The coop gets locked up after all the girls have gone to roost and sleep, and stays closed until we open them up first thing each morning. This helps keep them safe from ground and aerial twilight predators, as well as keeping them clear of the tractors and coop tires during their move every other day.
The added morning lights give them time extra early in the day to lay their eggs in their nesting boxes - instead of on the ground - keeping your eggs cleaner and safer.
