Snow, rain, and harsh winds (+25-70 mph) and they are outside with no care in the world. Good weather they like to be under shelter. I will never understand them. At least the 2 month old chicks take shelter when they should.

lol yep same here. I guess once the hormones kick in, it take a bit of common sense out. They’re so funny!

I have a Splash Ameraucana. Until a recent torrential rain storm I thought that was a color, now I realize it’s a verb. She’s brown now, and extremely fast so I can’t catch her for a bath.

Her Mud Buddy is a French BCM, mud between the toes anyone?

Haha splash is a verb!! And her muddy buddy! You’re too funny!!! I bathe my booted Cochins, one of which is a rooster, he dislike it but lets me do it. My booted frizzled white Cochins hen hates it! Have you ever been flogged by a wet angry bantam hen???
With my others, if it’s chilly, I’ll just blow dry their under bottoms.
A funny not funny story: I was blowdrying one of my legbars, and I noticed a happening in her vent. I was completely new to chicken keeping, and freaked out. I thought she had (was having ?) a prolapse. She laid her first egg in my hand. I SEEN the entire happening. I don’t think it’s an “egg song”, I think it’s them saying “hallelujah I lived through that”!

Egglaying is pretty shocking to watch!
I’ve been flogged by a 6-7lb pissed off, soaking wet Orpington. Does that count?
