muzzboy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hello all just wondering as its the first rain we have had since my chickens arrived do I leave them roam the garden and get wet or do I leave them in their coop and run which is under cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I leave mine to it. Mine have plenty of places that they can shelter, including going back into the Cube and run but they often choose to sit out in the rain looking utterly pathetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR666 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 From my experience over the 9 months I have had chickens, they will just stay out in the rain and not seek shelter. However as they look so miserable and bedraggled when they get wet I usually try to usher them into the covered WIR until the sun shines again.

luggage16 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 mine all sat looking miserable in the eglu peeping out looking miserable so i covered their run and they all came back out! think they are a bit pampered already - neighbours must have thought i was nuts out in the garden in the rain putting their cover on lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
