how cold is too cold when it’s raining to let the chickens run around in it?
My chickens are chocolate Orpington they’re very fluffy and very good in cold weather, but I’m still concerned about them getting wet. the other day, I carried each chicken from the coop to the old covered run on the other side of the yard and locked them in there so they wouldn’t get wet, the temperature was low 40s and it was raining. They hate being locked up but like I said I want them to stay dry and healthy.
today is raining but it’s 50°. There are plenty of places they can hide under if they want to be out of the rain however they do get wet I’ve seen them on warmer rainy days they don’t get soaked to the bone or anything but they do get wet how cold is too cold to let them run around in it?
I know it’s stupid that the run is on the other side of the muddy hill yard from the chicken coop. That’s just the way it is presently due to all kinds of circumstances.
