Hens won't drink water

[ChickenCanoe]

Mine don't drink much water on cool overcast days. Sometimes I'm surprised when I let them out in the morning and none go for the water till after they've eaten.

Chickens seem to prefer dirty, disgusting water, which is why they're so happy to drink it off the ground.

Have you had any rain lately, or very humid days where you get condensation on surfaces? Chickens love licking dew and condensation as well.
