Chicks and Rain??

[smoolie]

My 5 week old chicks have been moved to the "big house" and love being outside all day in their fenced run. I leave the coop doors open for easy access to the inside. My question is are they smart enough get out of the rain?? Should I worry if they get wet?
Thanks for all your help.

They'll be fine. Make sure the door won't blow shut if it's windy. I ended up with 9 big hens in the made-for-2 banty coop one evening.

They'll be just fine. Mine actually enjoy going out in the rain.

No need to worry.

Nurse Rachet does a little bird rendition of Gene Kelly on most rainy days. The others watch her from the shelter and shake their heads. She's a one of a kind. Chicks are only in danger if they are made of marzipan.

Thanks for all the quick responses. I looks like rain and I was worried about them.
