This week, a peek inside the chicken coops at night, and an animated GIF of the ducks.

The chickens are so strange; they have a couple of nice roosts in the new coop, but a bunch of them are crowded on the small roosts above the nesting boxes to sleep, with only one on the main roosts. Maybe they like the view out the window, but more likely they just like to be as high as possible:

For completeness, the rest of the chickens sleeping in the old coop:

The ducks on the pond:

The same GIF of 1-second captures at 1 FPS, i.e. real-time:

(I think the 2x one is better, but figured I’d include both.)
