Snow, rain, and harsh winds (+25-70 mph) and they are outside with no care in the world. Good weather they like to be under shelter. I will never understand them. At least the 2 month old chicks take shelter when they should.

lol yep same here. I guess once the hormones kick in, it take a bit of common sense out. They’re so funny!

I have a Splash Ameraucana. Until a recent torrential rain storm I thought that was a color, now I realize it’s a verb. She’s brown now, and extremely fast so I can’t catch her for a bath.

Her Mud Buddy is a French BCM, mud between the toes anyone?

Haha splash is a verb!! And her muddy buddy! You’re too funny!!! I bathe my booted Cochins, one of which is a rooster, he dislike it but lets me do it. My booted frizzled white Cochins hen hates it! Have you ever been flogged by a wet angry bantam hen???
With my others, if it’s chilly, I’ll just blow dry their under bottoms.
A funny not funny story: I was blowdrying one of my legbars, and I noticed a happening in her vent. I was completely new to chicken keeping, and freaked out. I thought she had (was having ?) a prolapse. She laid her first egg in my hand. I SEEN the entire happening. I don’t think it’s an “egg song”, I think it’s them saying “hallelujah I lived through that”!

Egglaying is pretty shocking to watch!
I’ve been flogged by a 6-7lb pissed off, soaking wet Orpington. Does that count?

Yes girl that counts!! At least my girl is only 14 oz.
What did you do to make her mad? Not the right mealworm? Step in her favorite mud hole? Heaven forbid you were making sure she was ok???
