Wet hens

Wet hen (Navi)

What the heck? I went out to put the chickens to bed (really to make sure they were headed to roost and lock up), and three of the hens were soaked. It had been raining all day, so I imagine they were out in the rain, but I didn’t think they liked to be wet!? After trying to take pictures of cold wet chickens all excited because the light was on at bedtime (obviously that didn’t work out well), I dried them off as best I could since it was forecast to be cold that night and hoped for the best.

They all survived the night, even Navi with her pendulous crop. There must have been a seriously tasty tidbit to tempt them into the downpour. Crazy chickens.
