Hello Everyone,

I had my chickens outdoors in their little playpen on the grass. They are not yet integrated so I take them there to have some free time. I went inside the house and did not realize that it started to rain. I think they must of been outside in medium rain for over 30 min. It’s not cold rain as I live in south Florida and the temp is in the mid 80s. I ran out and took them back inside a covered area. I felt horrible because they had no shelter in that pen and where just sort of standing under the direct rain. Once I took them inside I blew dry them. They weren’t not soaked but I just wanted to keep them dry. I’m no worried and paranoid that they are going to get sick!

Should I freak out about them getting aspiration pneumonia?

Do you think they accidentally can inhail the rain as if just rains on top of their little heads without shelter?

I have them in their little inclosed area and they seem just fine. But now I’m just wondering if they are no going to die!?

Please help. I have a picture of the play pen so you can get an idea of the open space that was not covered.

Update!! They are doing great! No problems. They ended up not getting soaked. I dried them up and they were good! Thanks everyone!

I have some chickens that will go out to hunt in the rain because they've learned that it brings up the worms and forces beetles and grasshoppers to climb up into chicken range to get out of the wet.

I have a older bird that follows behind me when it's nasty out because I bring worms up with my feet somehow while walking.
