We have had heavy rain for three days now. We have been under a flood warning since last night.
My coop/run has drained well until last night. It is on a slope, in a stand of trees, with a drainage pipe running under the stand of trees. However, we had so much rain last night that the run had standing water. It rained all night, too, so there are still puddles covering most of the run.
My silly chickens are choosing to stand in the puddles in the run, with rain soaking them because it is coming in sideways. The coop is still nice and dry (raised).
We are getting heavy rain for a few more days. Anything I can do to help keep water from collecting in the run? I threw a tarp over the coop and run, but the water is coming in from the bottom.
