Some of our ladies love dancing in the rain , some are more prissy and are quick to take cover.
Unless we get extreme downpours (possibly flooding) or high winds (making the wet bird cold) I dont make them go inside the barn.. for the most part the doors always open during the daytime

we live in Florida so im clueless to the whole winter + chickens thing but i would imagine if it were very cold outside you would want to prevent them from being rained on

I'm posting my opinion again, lol
I was reading an article at a magazine at the feed store talking about Sex-Links and it said that they don't mind getting wet

I live in the Pacific Northwest. It has been raining now for three days straight, along with crazy lightning and thunderstorms. This has not stopped my 6 hens and 1 rooster (all Black Australorps), from wandering happily around our two acre homestead. They are finding worms and slugs all over the place! Maybe it depends on their breed??? Happy Homesteading!

Our girls are always out in the rain! Even when its cold.

I think my birds are just annoyed by the rain. I've seen them out foraging in the rain and other times under the shelter. I know they don't like being wet because a lot of times they drink out of my ducks water tub and when the duck jumps in and splashes they either get mad and peck him or walk away, but when he's not in the water they hang out together.

 

[STUPID CHICKS]

Chicks like to be in the rain, storm, sun, cold, hot and lightning. They also like to eat all kinds of food such as bread, sweet corn and all kinds of fruit.
