As @pennsif said, my birds are also just post-moult. I've got a couple with a few last pin feathers, but they're mostly through it. Still getting eggs - about six a day - but they're TINY!
Spent a couple of hours this morning cleaning out the yard due to the overnight downpour. My main thing is I finally got the shed totally waterproof and better ventilated so I'm hoping this winter with fare better than last - which was a constant, horrible struggle with wet bedding and bored hens.
Like wise, a couple of the netted pens last year weren't waterproof and we spent much time, effort and money on continuously replacing the straw.This year we are better prepared with waterproof covering and also an extra poly tunnel and another shed ready to be utilised if needed.

Good plan. I had a nightmare with leaking drinkers too. In the end I just got rid of them and now use two large washing up bowls. Haven't had leaking issues since!
