Snoxy Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I was just finishing cleaning out the droppings tray when the rain came down...being a novice chicken owner I didn't know what the girls would do...for a moment they sheltered then all 3 popped into the Eglu...clever girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yeah they are clever, some of them don't mind getting wet though so I have heard! Depends on the individual hen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Mine used to stay out in it until they got soaked through, then they'd go and take shelter under the garden table. My chooks go in their house to sleep and to lay their eggs, other than that they are out all the time, in all weathers - even before their run had a roof. Your chooks are definitely more clever than mine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraJ Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Lol we had heavy short hail storm here today. The Chikens were ok for a few seconds of it then they all charged uo the garden under the trampoline, so funny to watch running! they run under there or under the laurel bush, they only go back to the run to eat.

Smiler Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Ours stayed out in the great downpour then when the hail and snow started that was a little too much so went inside to preen and clean. Velma is a right little housewife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
