Cranfield Kate Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 the new ex-batts must be wondering why i bothered rescuing them if the outside world is unremitting grey, wet and miserable! not conducive to free ranging and set to last till tuesday. let's hope they don;t start kicking off at each other... bedtime is starting to get a bit "no that's MY space!" "no it's MINE!" "get OFF!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 As mine have their own fr area which is fairly sheltered they have been out in the rain for a short time today - however they just stand there getting wet as if they haven't a clue where it's coming from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey_Fairy Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Mine were sooo wet and bedragled this morning! Drying out now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisamumof4 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Gosh the weather has been awful today! My girls have been FR all day and although they look wet and bedraggled they seem to be OK and happy enough. They have shelter out there but are choosing not to be under it. Here's hoping for a dry weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkBevBen Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 The weather was horrid for us too yesterday, it's looking nice and dry so far though today Our girls were so funny though in the rain, they were running around in it - you could just imagine them singing 'we're singing in the rain' Bless them they didn't half look all bedraggled and windswept but seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves!

MarkBevBen Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Thought you might like to see a picture of Cottie and Dottie, all bedraggled and windswept, but thoroughly enjoying themselves in the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey_Fairy Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Poor things! Ours looked like that yesterday too, but didn't really seem to mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBevBen Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Poor things! Ours looked like that yesterday too, but didn't really seem to mind! Aww I know Clairey - though we had a lovely dry day yesterday I'd hope that if they did mind the rain, they'd go under cover but the other day they were so funny running around in it!

Burtie14 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 We've put plastic tarp round 2 of the 4 sides of our WIR, it makes a big difference when it's hammering down like this. The aubiose still gets a bit wet on one side but it keeps the hens dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
