Thunder and Hail

Recommended Posts

We just had a huge flash of lightning, an enormous clap of thunder and torrential hail.

 

The dog gets stressed with them but I ventured out to The Pobs and they were coming out of their house, soaked and a bit stressed. They are locked away now. I hope they are ok. :?

Awww poor little things.

 

I'm pretty certain one of mine died from a massive thunderstorm :(

It was a very big thunderstorm and all the chickens were alive but I checked on them after and one of them had just dropped dead.

I always check on them after thunderstorms now.

We had one Wyandotte completely stopped eating after a thunderstorm. It took 3 months to get her back to it. We started with hanging cabbage, then wet mash and eventually she ate pellets while waiting for the mash! She lost a lot of weight but is back to fat again. She might even lay this week, but she is 5 years old so we're not counting on it.

I went into the conservatory last night to check it was watertight in the hailstorm. I got in there, and have never been so frightened indoors it was so loud. I could really envisage the ceiling coming down (big girl's blouse moment) :shock: Poor chooks, I do hope everybody's birds are OK.

There was a sudden hailstorm last week, the girls were outside they sheltered under the Wendy house, I came out of the workshop when it stopped and the girls came out and started eating the hailstones.

I know our 3 don't get fazed by noise they come into the workshop when I am grinding away with my angle grinder, I have to chase them out before I start welding, imagine taking them to the vet with arc eye.

Mine eat the hailstones too! I really think that Cinnamon thinks all dreams have come true during a hailstorm. First time she ran around completely excited, thinking it was corn falling from fhe skies... :wall:
