Ok so what about how to deal with all this wet weather? I woke to yet another day of heavy rain here in Scotland. The tarpaulin has sprung a few leaks and my poor wee girls are looking like miserable drowned rats and egg production is way down, is this because of the lack of sun?

Is there anyway you can put a different tarp over the coop? And yes a misrable chicken will stop laying. Chickens don't like getting wet and being chilled, I would try to fix the leak and get them dried up.

Thanks Apyl, have sorted the leaks and they look a bit happier today. The rain has stopped, hopefully it will stay off and give the place a chance to dry out properly.
