Doug,
I have found that feeding my flock alfalfa hay in the singer makes them happy and we still have nice.orange yolks!

Thanks everyone for your input, I did leave the door open last night and the girls were very happy to come out when they wanted to.
But… I usually give them greens from the garden when I open the door and today they came out to none, and they let me know in no uncertain terms that this shall not happen again J
Not sure how to break it to them about winter and no greens and all. Oh well.
And as far as counting them, I only have 9, so that is easy, and I check up on them a couple times a day.
But like I was telling someone earlier, the cover of the pen area is 2 layers of hardware cloth, and even the local sparrows can't get in J
Cheers
~Dr.Doug

Hi DrDoug:
I agree with Cathryn; however, I find I like to close them all up at the end (and open them in the AM) just to count everybody, as well as to check for health, happiness and well-being. Just a thought.
