Rain is on the way--put in coop?

[ChixMama]

We've got 5 chick(ens) that are 10 weeks old and have been in their coop/run for 1 week. It is supposed to rain today and don't know whether I should put them back in the coop before we leave or just hope that they got back in the coop when the rain comes.

They go in & out of the coop all day, but I just don't know what they'll do with the rain. Sorry to be such a worry wort, but they are very special to us. Thanks!

Ten weeks old ... they are good to stay out .. my chickens love the rain and all the lil squirmy wormyies that come out in it.. At ten weeks they should be feathered out fine and can choose to come or go...

they will be fine! As long as they know they can go inside when it gets too much, they will!

I am the worst when it comes to my babies... a paranoid chicken mum! they are 12 weeks but I still have plastic over most of the run atm so when it rains bad they don't get washed away
