braden01 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 ...I just had to take a photo as they look so sorry for themselves! At least this wet weather brings up lots of worms etc for them and it's funny to see them chasing away the pigeons and starlings that arrive as soon as the rain stops.

Chicken Licken Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 My 2 refused to come out in the rain today - the rain has been biblical though. They have huddled under their shower curtain and baccawed pitifully at anyone going by. I have taken them a nice bowl of porrige with some raisins and grapes sliced into it to make sure they are warm and cosy on the inside - I like to think of them a bit like the old ready brek advert from the 70s/80s with a nice orange glow and a duffle coat (not quite sure what they's look like inthe coat though!)..I hope they take themselves off to bed nice and early and snuggle up warm. I think they are a bi under the weather having had their second attack with the louse powder this monring before the rain began!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Mine look pretty pathetic too. What rotten weather. Typical bank holiday weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Bless them Our nine big girls spent the day free ranging and when we put them to bed with some warming corn they were VERY soggy chookies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I've just finished blow-drying Gwen and Doris They were absolutely soaking and looked thoroughly fed-up so as a special treat they sat in the hall and enjoyed warm gusts from my hairdryer! Gwen is so funny, she makes a sort of purring noise when she's content - aaaah! I LOVE MY CHICKENS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ah... so it isn't only mine who are daft enough to stand out in the rain, when they have a very nice completely waterproofed run. Do I really need to dry them? Its their own fault they got wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Mine mooch about in the rain and get absolutely drenched! When I go out to say goodnight though, the steam is usually rising inside the eglu and they soon dry off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
