It is REALLY windy and my chickens are screaming what should I do? QUICK PLZ

[twopetchickenzzz]

Please someone tell me what to do. I am new to chickens and have never had this. I check up on them every five minutes or so. I have two hens. They are screaming so loudly. I gave them water and food. One of my flocks drank some water and food. I am new to this so I don't know.

Do they have anything they can go in to get away from the wind? When it's windy out my birds just hide under their tree

Yes, they have a coop they are just staying in there.

If they have a coop how is the wind getting to them? Is it not covered on minimum 3 sides? Post pic of coop for reference

My chickens have this house and they are upstairs but, they will be fine. I hope? I am just really worried.

We have high winds often, and rain, hail, sleet, and snow. They free range so when it's really bad, they go to the coop which has four sides, a roof, and is insulated. Otherwise, they just hang out under bushes or trees. They have their choice and I don't really worry much.

I’m not convinced the screaming is from the wind alone, they could be scared from it but it’s probably normal imo.

Gave them some treats for them to calm down. kinda worked.
Banana, apple peels, and some other treats

They'll get used to it. Your coop looks pretty wind/draft free and that's the most important thing. Sounds like they're doing fine now. It was probably seeing you most of all that helped.
