Rain!!!!

[greenarmy]

Do chooks like the rain, mine seem to be out in it all day, they have got a place to shelter,but just seem to be out in it all day soaked ??

[MrsC]

Daft ain't they, mine do the same! Whereabouts in Warrington are you?

[Suechooks]

Some do some don't! Some of mine disappear into the hut (or have a long lie-in) on rainy days, others just stand around scrattin in the mud!

[Glutton4...]

I often think mine need Wellies, as they spend so long outside in the bad weather. It's their choice, though. They go out and play in the snow too, silly things.

[Two_Sheds]

Some birds enjoy showers, others hate them. It's good for their feathers, esp. if they have new pins coming through

[greenarmy]

Thelwall where are you ??

[MrsC]

Padgate, not far, glad to see the number of chicken keepers in Warrington increasing

[greenarmy]

3 neighbours down our road have hens, thats what got me into them

[jessmorris]

Mine hate the rain, and the snow, they just stay in the coop, chatting chooky news I suppose...

[Scarlet]

All my girls stay out - its the boys that like to stay dry

[jessmorris]

Are they dandies, not wanting to get their lovely feathers wet??!!

[polo]

Some of mine stay in the shelter and some out in the rain. Theres nothing as sorry as a wet hen is there? They do have the choice though and prefer to get wet.

Slightly aside - the rain was so bad today the hen house was leaking! Cue - me out there in a torrential downpour cutting up layers pellet bags to cover the house.

Should be dry tonight...
