Most of mine are under their shelters or in the hen house. I do have a few rebels that stand in the rain and give me stink eye, The ducks are lovin this.

Mine stayed in their coop for 2 days. You know it's REALLY bad when they won't even come out. Heavy rain (don't know exactly how much we got, but over 4 inches) and wind gusts up to 50 MPH - it was just bad!

What sucks more than aything right now is that I didn't bring my lunch to work and it is flooded in both directions. I am already hungry. I need a canoe to get to Del Taco.

Silly chickens stand in the puddles, walk around in the mud, get lookin' really bedraggled, hens don't wipe their feet or wash up before laying, and all the eggs are muddy.

Wah. Wahhhhh waaahhhhh.

And yes, the ducks ARE loving it!

Don't forget walking on a slip and slide to do your chicken chores. That mud is slippery stuff!

That IS the biggest problem - plus doing it in the dark! I got myself one of those baseball caps with the LED lights in the bill and I use it. But that slick-as-snot mud even fills up the gripper bottoms of boots to render them fairly ineffective for safety's purpose. I hang on to the sides of the coops all the time.

I didn't see my "chicken hug" picture on there. It is somewhere up on the posts I think I did it yesterday. That is my official entry.

Thanks for doing all this work for us!

And if you fall...that isn't just mud you are falling into.
