Its hard to understand some points about chickens lol. Geese to. Our chickens yes they usually get under cover when its raining if their not free ranging but if their allowed to free range they don't seem to care all the time. During heavy rain theyll take cover but light sprinkle/rain they I often see them going down the sand driveway like its more likely to have a good food on it XDI agree...from a biological standpoint, I don't understand why a chicken molts during cold weather, rather than before. Some start molting in early Autumn, but some are losing feathers during cold weather. I know my girls are often happily prancing around in 4-inch snow and 20-degree temps so I try not to worry about them getting cold. Cold is fine, wet is fine...Cold AND wet is a big problem.
Geese on the other hand I've opted to saying "they just dont care"
