Silkies wont come in out of the rain

[Dean & Michelle]

I have 3 silkies, 2 roo's and 1 hen. They have an enclosed pen attached to the coop, but seem to like to sleep out in the rain. Regardless of how hard it rains, they cuddle up in the corner and sleep away the night. Should I worry ?, any health concerns ?, the night time tempature in northern Vt this time of year is in the 50s to 60s. They seem to be ok in the morning, just a little soggy.

Can you pi;ck them up and put them in the coop till they get the idea?

You should put them in at night.

Even if I have to spend an hour, picking up every bird, all my Silkies get locked up at night.....too many bad things can happen to them outside. Even though I provide ample covered areas, during the day, the birds stay out in the rain. I don't know if it feels good to them, or if they just like to see their mom (me) upset that they look so bad.
