ok, maybe a stupid question, and already have a good idea of the answer, but i want to hear form you guys, smarter as a group and all.
I have chickens (orpingtons) that are 17 weeks old. this was the first rains they experienced last night. They just stood there and got soaked!, it didnt really seem to bother them much and when the rain got too heavy they went into the coop to retreat. When the rain slowed down, they returned to the run.
I have provided a source of food and water both in the coop and in the run. I wouldnt worry too much exceot it is also kind of cold out too if your wet, about 40 degrees. SO.....should i worry or will they take care of themselves pretty much, or do i need to show them the way, lol......
