Wet Chickens!

[baileychic]

Hi! My chickens are about 12 weeks old and are turning into such brats! Since they have been in their outside coop/run they have become very independent!! Today it started raining and I was at the grocery store, I came home to find half in the coop and the other half prancing around soaked in the rain. They seemed to be enjoying it, but I tried to put them inside anyway. It was a lost cause, so I finally gave up! I only got wet and muddy.......I know the ducks love to be in the rain, but is it ok with the chickens? My run is not covered yet

I guess some like it and some dont lol...mine don't like to get wet at all and they run when I have the hose out

as long as the temp isn't too cool, they are fine

Mine will go under the tree and get soaked before going into the coop. They are fine and it is too hot for them to get chilled.
