I've always been told that chickens don't like the rain. We have 5 and they'll all quite happily peck and scratch or even just stand about when it's tipping it down, again with free access to indoor areas, - I just thought mine were odd, at least someone else has an odd chicken as well :)

Our Buff Orps which are heavily feathered do come out of the rain. The hybrids don't. Indeed they have been known to roost on top of the coop in a thunderstorm.

I would guess that to many chickens foul weather is but a paltry affair....
