I think she is making a jab about Arlo going to bed early since chickens get up early, they must go to bed early. Perhaps she is a little frustrated at his going to sleep early?
Chickens go to bed when it gets dark. Sounds like Arlo goes to bed earl;y no matter the daylight. Janis is just jabbing at him that in a while, it’ll be dark when Arlo goes to bed, and hence, the chickens.
@LGMARGOLIN: Unless you are an orthodox Jewish person. An hour in halacha is calculated by taking the total time of daylight of a particular day, from sunrise until sunset, and dividing it into 12 equal parts. These a ‘proportional hours’ and will vary with the season. If the sun rises at 5 am and sets at 7:30 pm, an hour will be 72.5 minutes long.
When I was in Alaska, near the Beaufort Sea in mid-June, the sun did a circle in the sky and never set. Weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced other than a total solar eclipse.

The days are getting shorter? Where do they live?

Summer solstice is the longest day. After the summer solstice, the days get shorter. Very sad it is, too.

I don’t get the chicken joke.

Is that a mixed metaphor? A bon mot? A blond joke????

Every day is 24 hours. Summer solstice has the most DAYLIGHT.

I’m glad they are getting shorter. It’s still light at 8:30 pm.
