chickencam Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 It reminds me a bit of July 20th, soggy chickens ( why don't they stay under their cover? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Ours has just stopped and I've let the girls out - funny how they run into the garden ans start drinking out the puddles as if they're really thirsty and don't have any water in their run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Ours will always drink droplets from the run bars in preference to the glug even when I have just refilled the glug with the hosepipe they drink the droplets before starting on the glug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Isn't it strange how they do that. We have a water feature in our garden with some fish in it, however the chickens and dogs drink from there even though they have fresh, clean water available to them.

chickencam Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 The rain stopped so I went out to see the soggy chooks, needless to say they haven't laid anything can't blame them really although it is dry in the nest box. Changed the poo tray paper and guess what is started raining again. Now have logs and lit fire the world is a better place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 It's here now! Absolutely torrential rain, running water everywhere. I don't think the hens will be enjoying the garden today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 If this rain continues I swear my chooks are going to develop webbed feet and start waddling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hate to rub it in folks but it has been the most lovely autumnal afternoon here. Gave the girls a mini clean out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 We have had a lovely day. In fact it has been nice, sunny and quite warm for a few days. Saturday was a bit drizzley (is that a word) but brightened up. Early in the morning it is a bit chilly but not bad for October. In fact we could do with a bit of rain, the garden is looking quite dry and my pots need watering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 rain,what rain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Well, the day ended in ablaze of glory.. after the rain had stopped lashing down, this is what i found in the park between my house and the office.... It's a sort of ornamental oak (don't know the name), it always drops it leaves early and very suddenly, so there's a carpet of crisp, golden leaves.

sparkleeeeee Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 it was ok here untill about 10ish, today was the day the builders took our old conservatory down and by 9am it was down (with the help of a digger) and being cleared away. then they started gunning up the concrete base and the heavens opened. hubbie (the boss) sent them off to do some other work as it did get very muddy. i did rescue some paving slabs to redo the run floor for the winter. i did get really soaked reorganising the run but the chooks are happy even though they decided not to freerange today (i wonder why??)and got in my way whilst i tried to lay slabs. i turned up at nursery to collect my little boy looking like a drowned rat. i did get some funny looks at it is a fairly posh independent school, you know the type where some of the mums drive brand new landrovers and look immaculate in designer clothes. they are really nice there though including the mums and my little boy loves it. the chooks went to bed at 5.30pm so it must be bad. it rained until about an hour ago. fingers crossed it will be better tomorrow as they have to re-route a drain and start holes for foundations.

Guest Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 It poured with rain here yesterday, and despite promises for warmth and sunshine for the rest of the week, starting today, this morning see us with fog so thick, we can't see the fence on the other side of the road.
