to start a Sunday morning, than to let all of the chickens out right before it's time to leave for church?
Exactly what my 8 year old did yesterday morning.  I watched as all of the chickens just marched right out of the open door.  The rooster was so proud standing there on the front lawn...   
Speaking of 8 year olds, we'll have two of them for a month starting Wednesday!  Yes...  "Little Joe" will be turning 8...  and "The absent minded professor" (the one who let the chickens out) will not be nine until November.
