Chicks first rain since going out to the coop three days ago. They are pretty sure the world is ending. 
I went out and talked to them, which brought them out of the corner. Closed the window and door. Cuddled the ones that like to be cuddled. Offered some treats. They now feel much better.
And, yes, it is STILL raining. They just don't care anymore.

Two somethings, actually, but the hatchery won't say what specifically. They call them "Colorpack Layers" and the pullets (I have two which look very different from each other) are supposed to lay green to blue eggs. I say "supposed to" because I have another chick from the same hatchery that was sold as a Black Copper Marans/Barred Rock cross, but his gender and feather patterns disagree with that claim. Both crosses were supposed to be sex links, but only the CCL cross cockerel had the telltale dot and barred feathers. The BCM/BR cockerel was a total surprise as he has neither when he should have had both, yet I am almost certain he is a boy.
