mine have just gone to bed in the last 2 minutes, it is dark outside, but the "essex girls" ( bet i will be in trouble now ! ) have just gone to bed, big sal went over 30 mins ago.

oh, and they have learnt how to get over a closed lower stable door into the kitchen already.

if anyone wants to know if hybrids are any good, yes, very comical, but beware the house and garden

At the moment mine are going about 9ish.
The other night i went out to shut them up & they were still up at 9.50pm.

[compostqueen]

Mine are put away in the run for their supper and there I know they'll be safe away from foxy and they can put themselves to bed when it's dark, about 9.30 ish at the moment.  I close their door once I think they're in bed. When I approach though they usually dash out again to see if I've got any treats 

[newatthis]

mine gp to bed between 9 and 9.30, and then i lock them in for the night and then let them out at 6.30ish...

[sarah f]

the serama's toddle off to bed about 8.30 , but the silkies are dirty stop outs and dont go till it starts to get dark

[Pretty Chick]

Mine go in between 9 and 9:30 and then we lock them in, like newatthis  

[Aidy]

3 of the 4 are in by around 9.30, the last one will not go to bed until I appear to lock them down  when she see me coming she will toggle up the ramp and wait until I am in the run then she will pop in. So I go over around 9.45ish now.

[Casey76]

Usually by deep dusk they are all in.

[carolbriar]

Last night I was trying to get mine in just after 10pm.  It will be a battle of wills when it is still light here at 11pm in the next month   They are permanently in a run but I like to shut them in the coop for the night.  If they have only just gone in they come running out to see what I might have for them

[chuckmad]

My girls are tucked up in bed at 9 every night, they could be there earlier but when I check at nine they are already in.

[joyfull]

As mine free range I let them decide when to go to bed and usually go out around 9.30 to shut them in. However as my tree dwelling Geraldine went broody and hatched me 5 araucana chicks I now have a problem. She left the chicks and went back to tree dwelling when they were 5 weeks old which in itself is fine but for the last 2 nights 4 of the chicks have decided to join her and roost in the trees  . I have spent the last 2 nights between 9.30 and 10 trying to knock them out - boy was I getting mad last night. Me doing this sets of the guinea fowl so they start with their loud racket - good job my neighbours don't live too close to me 
The moral of this story - never use a broody tree dweller to hatch any eggs unless you like running round knocking birds out of trees and looking like a complete lunatic 

[grumpydad]

joy, did you want me to have a chuck like that ? lol, no ta, mine are bad enough, lol

[joyfull]

the other araucanas hatched by tree dwellers sister Dannii are well behaved though they only take about 10 mins of chasing them to get them in their coups 

[nicky d]

for the last few nights its been past 10pm when mine have finally decided to give in    nickyx

[grumpydad]

10.05 again, and they all had to be pushed in, this is beyond a joke, they all had tennis ball crops, plenty of poo in the morning then.
