Good morning. I live in the Coastal Mountains of California and I am new to chickens, adopting three adult girls in September. After years of drought this year Mother Nature has decided to blesses us with an abondance of rain, LOTS of rain. Two weeks ago our run was a swimming pool because the water table is so high even the drainage is not working. We temporarily put in a raised floor made of plywood. Yesterday we got another 8 inches of rain with over 10 plus inches forecasted this weekend ( I should have gotten ducks). It looks like we are going to have at least 3 more months of rain and I am going to have to keep them elevated off the ground. I have shavings on the floor and keep it clean and I let them out daily to run (although they hate the rain). Is it ok to have them on a wood floor for extended periods? The option of having them knee deep in water does not seem like a good one. Thank you for any advise/encouragement
