The_eggwards_family Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 We are in the middle of a massive thunder and lightening storm and terrential rain. The girls have gone in, but I just wondered if there is anything else I should do - I imagine its quite scary as the storm seems to be right above us. Very loud and bright! Will they be ok?

chicken bark Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 My experience is that they don't seem bothered by these things. Have you a cover on the run so they can be sheltered but stay out of the house if they want to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaloo Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 None of my animals have ever worried about Thunderstorms...cats, dog, horses or chickens!! ...yet I'm terrified of them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a rescue dog that needed valium whenever there was loud bangs. Makes you dread to think what his previous owners must have done to him.

chickyhazel Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Our chickens are fine provided they have shelter like a run cover or a nice thick bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTheDiver Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Mine go in the run, I have a tarpaulin over the run to keep them dry (not that they stay out of the rain much ). They have never been bothered by thunder, fireworks or any loud noise. My cat is terrified and hides whenever there is a storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
