what preparations will people be putting in place a head of Sunday/Mondays predicted storms?!

i have a small henhouse & am thinking about bringing it in!!

[pepsi100]

Just be shutting them in, made sure the roof is okay, not much else I can do

[Sassy]

Just keep to your usual routine and let your chooks decide. Do not bring them in they will overheat! And keep an eye of course

After last years horrible down pours and snow I am confident that my hardy little girls will be fine.  Enclosed run, with a good strong roof on it....And I'm lucky that I'm not in an area that is likely to suffer from flooding.

At the minute they are not too sure but the most likely areas will be the south of England. This link gives more information.

If your location is prone to flooding it would be advisable to move them to a safe place.  If your coop is lightweight make sure it will not be blown over.  Your chickens will decide where they want to be as Sassy said, just make sure they are not near large branches that could break in the high winds.

How is your land holding up with all the wet weather Sassy?

I have bought all mine wellies and so'westers   Nah  they have a small shed I leave open, plus underneath their coop has 3 sides blocked off   but their favorite place is under the trailer which I keep upside down!!!!!

strong winds generally won't affect my run and coop too much as it is very sheltered with having tall hedge trees in the garden.  However, storm force winds would worry me as the run is built next to a very tall Ash tree (neighbours garden) which is still in full leaf and in the path due to wind direction

I'm carrying on as usual, the hens will make their way into the open when they want. 

[Mrs Bee]

We shall keep calm and carry on........ as usual.

We had more rain last night, my hens are getting webbed feet, I dont understand why they wander around in the rain when they got a nice dry hen house

[nerdle]

Mine will be in here with me.  Tall trees all around my Barratt Box though - might sleep downstairs !!!!

[snow white]

My coop and run are really heavy.  No risk of blowing over or flooding.  Just me as I go to check on them.  Might have to tether me down!
