How do storms affect yall's birds? I have Ms.Henny and shes a boss, but she is soooo scared when it gets windy.

Plus I think she likes to come in to get away from the roosters...look at her back.. 2 fat 2 get away. Poor gal

Poor girl is looking rough. A chicken saddle will protect her from the roosters and allow some of her feathers to regrow.

The orientation of that heater? to wall boards hurts.

Is she a Cornish X hen? Do you plan to butcher or is she a pet?

Most chickens do not like high winds. When the wind kicks up here, I like to take some plywood and set up an area in the run that they can stand in away from the wind. You can also do this with bales of hay or other objects. Just make sure the objects themselves will not get blown over and injure the chickens.

Sorry to barge in but that's not a Cornish X hen. We have some and they look nothing like that. Not sure what it is though, I am now curious!

Storms don't effect our chickens other than they may be wet if they decide to make the stupid decision of standing out in the rain (which some have done before .)

For our ducks, they don't mid the rain, because it slips right off of their feathers!

My birds *generally* don't care to be out in DRIVING rain or heavy wind, but I have seen them out foraging in between the rain bands of a tropical storm.
