They definitely don't like the rain. After two days of constant rain, I have observed that the moment water begins to fall on their feathers they run to hide under the henhouse until the rain stops, but they do not go inside.
After the rain they like to dig in the ground and have discovered the...
Today has been a rainy day in Spain and, of course, it was the first time my chickens saw and felt the rain.

I have observed many curious things in their behavior, I suppose it will be normal on their first day of freedom, they are together almost all the time, they bite each other slowly, everything itches and scratches, etc., but I have seen one thing that I have been worried because I have not read...
Good day to all.
Today was the first day of my girls' freedom, it was difficult for them to leave, but they had a great time, I think.
The truth is that it took them a bit to get out of their chicken coop, they are so comfortable in it :-)
With a little help they went out in the morning and have...
Yes, they sure are still scared.
Tomorrow, without forcing them, I will try to get them to go out for a run in the sun, but if they don't want to, I won't insist.
Thanks for the comment.
