Chickens first experience with the water sprinkler...yep, they are "chickens"

[Oliver Douglas]

Ran the backyard sprinklers for the first time that the birds were in their coop. Just a few drops fell into the coop, most were on the roof...you would have thought a twister had run through. I went out to find them all hiding under cover at the other end of the coop. Fifteen minutes after the "deluge", they were still hiding. Finally coaxed them out with a treat. When the summer heat comes, they will probably enjoy it.
