jennifer+simon Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 i have noticed pottering around the garden as soon as the hose pipe comes out they come a running. they love it! they dance around in the puddles and seem to be trying to get under the flow of the hose. its all a mystery to me as i thought chickens hated the water? its so funny watching them play in it, do you think i should put the sprinkler on for them or would that be crewl?

jlo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 When I first got the girls, one of my friends who has chickens did tell me that they liked running water. I just put the hose onto the patio when it is hot and they go to drink the water coming out of it. I am not sure that they would be too keen on the sprinkler but someone else may well know more about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 They don't hate water, they just drown very easily if they fall in! Mine love pottering in the rain, and the hosepipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
