Turns out if you wait until twilight, all the chickens are nicely in the coop with Not Fiona standing on the deck, tapping her foot, as she waits for the people to come and close the drafty door.
Four eggs, same colors as usual. Three were in the far right nesting box, one in the box next door. What is it that makes that side of the coop so attractive for egg laying? Is it warmer? Does it get more sun? Are our chickens Republican? There could be a science fair project here.

Good to know, because I've been getting there a little earlier on my Saturday shift and getting them in the coop has been an ordeal! On the other hand, it's hard to clean up adequately when it starts to get dark.
