Response to husband and chickens

annette, I have some laying hen that I raised from day old chicks. I had 2 buff orpingtons. When all the other chicks were in the pen, the buff orpingtons would still be outside. It was like they just hated for the day to end and stretched it out as far as they could. When they became grown hens, they would be outside way after the others were on the roost. They just ran around frantically trying to get one more grain of scratch or catch one more bug or whatever. Maybe these were just mine but the ones I had seemed to really want to be nightowls. If anyone else had the same eperience with them, I'd lke to know. It's nothing for or against them, just iteresting. Eagle
