    Help!!!! What to do with my chickens and ducks in hurricane weather?

    Hi! I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but I didn't know where else to put it. There's currently a really big tropical storm/hurricane where I'm at. It's meant to officially hit tonight. We're not dead center, and we're inland, so I think it will just be tropical storm type winds...

    Missing Pekin after storm

    I have two Pekin girls that are about 4months old. We had a big storm last night, one of many this year, and today I only have one girl. We live on a golf course with a pond and even though we built a beautiful coop- they free range. Never come in at night. Party all day with their mallard...

    Chickens standing in the rain

    Hello! My chickens have access to shelter from the rain, but even when it’s pouring they will just stand in the downpour looking miserable. A little rain is fine, but I’m in Florida and the rainy season has only just begun. The other day I had to run out and physically put them in the coops...

    Chickens and Storms!

    Hey everyone! I was wondering what I should do with some stubborn chickens. Our coop is shaped like a triangle, so some of our chickens love climbing up the chicken wire and roosting on the top of the coop! This was fine with me until they continued roosting up there, even during bad storms. Our...

    Storms

    This is probably gonna be a silly question but lately we've been having storms. I was wondering if there's anything I need to do if there's hail or a tornado threat. Do I need to do anything? This is probably such a silly question but I would like some advice from people who've kept chickens...

    May Storm

    Yikes!! Just got a thunderstorm with some 70 mike per hour wind gusts! Nothing to badly damaged, thankfully! We have a missing hen, but for now I’m not too worried, she probally found a place to hide until it was over. I was working in the coop, to suddenly be hammered with sudden wind and rain...

    Self-inflicted Silkie Injury

    Hi! Two days ago there was a big storm here and my chickens were all spooked! The worst two sufferers were my silkie chicks. One of them got herself stuck between two layers of the coop wall (unharmed) and the other one tried to escape and sliced off the back of her neck!! I patted her with a...
