Girls are 19 weeks old.
We had a very severe storm move in about an hour before dusk. Most of the girls went to the coop but two did not and suffered in the wind, hail and torrential downpour. It was awful to watch.
I waited until the lightning died down and got them into the coop and locked it up for the night. They were pitiful looking.
We have lots of storms in this area, often lasting for hours, but this was the first one in a long time.
Will they learn or do I need to plan on herding chickens before severe storms?
