Hoop coop and rain

[Gingersnap2]

Hello- we live in northern Florida and we have been having a lot of rain. We have a hoop coop with three chickens (we recently got them about a week and half ago) but the sides are exposed so some of the bedding is wet. Is this cause for concern? The area with the nesting boxes is dry.

Don't worry. Just flip the wet spot to help dry out and fluff the shavings.

If the ventilation is adequate and the area around the roost is dry then a little wet along the sides isn't necessarily a bad thing for a dirt-floored coop in a warm climate.

X2. I hesitate to say much without.
