My feathered friends have me in a fowl mood: why won't they come in from the rain
Oh, the rain dance of defiance, I know it well. You're standing there, soaked, watching your feathered friends treat a downpour like a minor inconvenience while you're ready to build them an ark. Totally normal behavior, honestly. Chickens and ducks have their own weather logic, and apparently, daytime rain doesn't register as "coop time" in their little dinosaur brains. They'll march inside when dusk hits, same as always, because that's the real signal. You're not doing anything wrong, and neither are they, they're just being gloriously stubborn. If you want to coax them in early, try scattering some treats inside, but don't stress. This is just their feathery fowl phase.
