Rain risk vs worm reward
The pig house (pig-less this year) is repurposed as a chicken rain shelter, and they LOVE it. When it's pelting down, almost the whole flock crowds in there, and the guineas come running in too. The hens rock the rain pretty hard, but when it gets too heavy they jog for shelter. Rain makes the worms come up, but they don't like to get too wet either. It's a chicken risk/reward analysis. Adding the laundry rack was one of my finer brain waves.
I was asked if the birds actually use their tents when it rains
Yes. Yes, we do. That's how I endure the ugliness of the plastic A-frames - seeing the birds all run to it when the rain starts pelting down. Haven't seen them all day, as they've been out somewhere being adorable, but Sir Galahad and the keets of the round table know where to find shelter. Awww, they're starting to snuggle in for warming!
