Title: Help My chuks seem to like the rain
Post by: Mabelina on August 19, 2007, 10:42:51

Only had my lovely girls a few weeks but we have had a lot of rain over that time. Every book I've read says they don't like rain - well mine do. At first I let them out thinking they would go under a bush but they dont! They just seem to stand there pecking at the grass ??? Just a bit worried they will get ill, any suggestions gratefully recieved. :)

My dad kept chickens throughout my childhood and beyond! They love the rain as much as they enjoy a hot, dry dust bath.  As previously stated, if they didn't - they wouldn't stay out in it. Very jealous.  Wish I had some.
