Chickens roosting in the rain

[isadream]

I have some banties and they have decided to roost outside at nite. There is no danger in them doing this as their pen is covered by a roof but I do not like it when it is raining and storming outside. Is it ok for them to be outside in the rain or should I lock them in their coop so they are not getting wet?


Thanks,


Renee

Some of mine roost in the rain and some like undercover, when it get real windy and stormy they still stay out just under cover. From what I read on the BYC it doesn't hurt them. Good Luck!

They do all go in coop at night rain or not.

As long as it is not cold they should be fine.

Ok thanks! I wanted to make sure they didn't drown or get sick
