Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

I was saddened to read about Bob Thomas, a 77 year old chap who was hit by a tree while gathering his hens to safely in the winds and died.

 

We have had strong wings down here in London way but nothing of the magnitude others have had. I feel deeply sorry for all those who have suffered flooding and worse. It puts my usual grumbles in to perspective.

 

I have also read this horrific weather is coming to an end not before time.....I hope all of you guys reading this and your friends and family have not been too Badly affected. Onward and upward....

What a terrible shame - poor man.

 

I totally agree - we all prepared for another freezing winter and simply didn't see this lot coming. Do hope we can move on to some drier weather soon so these people suffering with the floods can get a bit of a break.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Yes, I saw that too. Poor man and his poor wife .

That is very sad news, poor chap, and sad for his wife too.

How awful, what dreadful news. axx

I heard a man had been hit by a tree and killed, but didn't realise he was trying to gather his hens Just shows how daft us chicken keepers are - more worried about our chooks than our own safety.

Poor man, RIP

 

I think we would all do the same. I was out checking the run and securing the roof whilst it was blowing up a storm. When you have animals you just don't think about it, you have to make sure they are safe

[Purplemaniacs]

Oh that is so sad.
