so I have a question, are chickens supposed to be in the rain? because mine have been out all day runnin' round in the rain, is that okay? they came inside for their regular food, and for a nap, but they were the whole morning.

Yes.

mine don't even go in to eat or nap. Free range in the rain all day

 

[chickenlover89]

Yes.

okay, so what should I do to get them to stop running around in the rain, because they always do this, everytime it rains

mine are still young, but they always do that, it's like a ritual.

you are right about that them cx's stand in it, jump on it, tip it over. i am glad im using fermented feed or the feed would be in the soil.

Since we are talking about Cornish X Rocks, Meyers have them on special for 83 cents straught run, but you have to order in lots of 25. Just in case anyone is interested?
