Did anyone else have trouble from the rain today? I know we needed the rain and it sure cooled us off thank goodness, but I wasn't home when it started and my chicks that were too hot yesterday got all wet and too cold today. I lost three and had to bring the rest in and warm them up fast. Still working on getting them dry though. Any suggestions?

I didn't have any trouble with it today, but i have had chicks nearly drown in the rain before, and i revived them just by getting them warm fast and frequently dipping their beaks in vitamin water until they started going for it themselves.

We got a nice little shower today. It wasnt until later in the day, but still. It was very nice. Hope we get more tomorrow.

Of course we got rain .. we started a coop building project on Sunday .. it only rains when we're building ..
