It's pouring with rain here and all my chickens are soaking  .
A few of my 3 year old bantams are particularly wetter than the other big girls. Will they get ill if they are wet for a long time? Because if I dry them, I'll have to put them back outside and they'll get wet again  

Any ideas are welcome

I have no answer for you but if it helps mine are covered in mud as they decided to have a bath in a big puddle.

Mine are out in the rain too.

I think its only the top feathers that get really wet as the ones closer to the skin have a natural oil on them. I haven't seen any of mine completely soaked through yet  But I may be wrong

No mine have been drenched before and they are all ok.

Most of mine are outside, even the silkies who are not supposed to like getting wet!

Thanks I'll leave them be then, but I'll keep an eye on them.
