so it is raining and 2 of my hens will not go in the coop untill I picked them up and put them in with the rest. I haven't noticed any fighting. They didn't even go hide under a tree just laid right out in the open and were soaking wet when i got them inside.
 
I wouldn't worry. Some just don't seem to mind the rain. Perhaps their feathers are good enough protection that even though the outside looks wet, it doesn't penetrate to the skin? Mine never seem to take cover - just wander around in the rain and look rather bedraggled but seem happy enough so I gave up long ago trying to make them be "sensible" and just let them make their own choices.
