Chicken Run is just a movie…or is it?

This is a surveillance video I made to try and figure out how our chickens kept getting out of their coop during the night. I also discovered why the cat had been so manic every morning…they had been eating his food while he slept.

Turns out they learned that the chicken wire on the side of the coop bends one way (for exiting) and bends another way on top of the coop (for entering).
