WOW! We just had a heck of a storm come through a few hours ago. I hope the rest of you all are ok. Lights flashed a couple of times here. Made me nervous since I still have 2 JG eggs still in the bator. The wind even blew the shade tarp off of the top of my run. For some reason, the girls didn't want to get in the coop during all of this. They stayed in the run in the pouring rain with the wind blowing like crazy until the tarp blew off. That must have scared them because they scattered into the coop then. We have that part there for extra shade and to help keep their food dry. Well, their food was sopping wet. I had to chunk out one 10 lb feeder and then a small 3 lb feeder both full of fresh feed after it stopped raining. Hubby helped me fix the shade tarp and I moved the food closer to the overhang so, hopefully, everything will be dry if anything else comes through tonight. Nothing in the duck coop/run was messed up. I guess because we had to make repairs on that when the last storms came through. Luckily, their food was completely dry so, I didn't have to chunk another 10 lbs of fresh feed. Feed is expensive and plus the health of my birds is very important to me so, keeping everything dry is a must. Everything seems back to normal. They loved free ranging in the wet grass after it stopped raining even though it was only for a short time.
