Hello everyone so quick question I have some 10/11 week old chicks outside that have been outside for roughly 2 or 3 weeks, it has been in like the 90s and above since I put them out now it is storming pouring rain and it's all the sudden down in the 40s! should I be worried they don't want to go in their Coop? they're standing outside under the tarped run but they're getting wet so should I be worried that they'll get sick or will it hurt them? I really just want some reassurance because with my last flock this didn't happen. Ty in advance!
 
As long as they're fully feathered, which I'm sure they are by now, it would be okay. Ours love the rain too.

Can you post pictures of your coop?

I've seen chickens get soaking wet in pretty cold weather and be just fine. Your birds are not chicks anymore. They are pullets. They've been fully feathered for a few weeks.
