Chickens and the Rain

Recommended Posts

I would like to think its not just my two girls. I am sure that I read somewhere that chickens dont like to get wet. Sharon and Lorraine spend all day free ranging, with the choice to go back into the run under cover at any time they like, however they stay out in all weathers. Of late they have been getting so wet they resemble drowned rats :).

It seems quite normal to them and they dont seem to mind at all. Does anyone else have chickens that think they are Ducks, or am I the onlt one :?:

My chickens also don't mind the rain and get soaked through even though they have plenty of places to go under cover. They do hate the wind though and huddle together in the feeding house when it is very windy. I would love to see them in the snow, fingers crossed for a few days of light dry snow around Christmas. Is that wishing for too much?
