Holly has told me that chickens can’t see in the dark but I’ve never really experienced their night blindness first hand. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to see and last night I got to experience the humor that accompanies a chicken that has been caught out in the dark.
Since Holly had to work an evening shift last night, I was responsible for gathering the hens at dusk and putting them in their coop. Normally they will just go in by themselves but Holly recently moved the chicks out there so the bigger birds aren’t able to get into the coop on their own. I guess that’s their punishment for pecking at, and generally being big jerks to the chicks.

Today while I was making the kids lunch, I discovered that there was red and green coloring all over the wall. And I mean all over. It started in the kitchen, went down the hall, and covered the walls in both of the kids bedrooms. Coincidentally, both Alex and Hannah were running around with red and green colored pencils in their hands. Figuring out how the marks got on the walls was not going to be a tough mystery to solve.
I asked Alex, who was holding a red pencil, who did the marks on the wall. He immediately threw Hannah under the bus and blamed her. His three-year-old brain isn’t advanced enough to get rid of the incriminating evidence he was holding in his hand so he ended up getting busted and spending extra time in the corner for lying.
