I am not sure if this is the proper place to put this but...
We are new to the chicken business. We currently have some RIR chicks and am prepping for their move into the yard. We are urbanites with a decent sized rear yard that is secure. We plan to have them roam free in the yard during the day with a coop to place them in at night. My question is regarding the lawn sprinklers in the yard. Are the birds smart enough to move to dry sections of the yard when the sprinklers run? The yard is on three stations, so if they keep moving, they will stay dry. Is there harm in them getting wet if they don't move around?
Thanks in advance!
