Should I be concerned? <<< As long as the shed has at least two solid walls, so they can get out of the wind, no matter what the weather, they should be fine. They can get terribly chilled, even if it isn't very cold out, if the conditions are just right. A three day windy rain that soaks them to the bone and leaches the warmth out of them will get them shivering even if it is well above freezing. They must have shelter from the wind and lots of hay to keep them warm from the outside and the inside of their bodies. Mine also almost rarely use their shelter/barn. I toss them plenty of hay in the barn to encourage them to stay inside it and dry off when the weather is wet and windy for a long spell. Meredith Sessoms Moulton AL USA ~ Dorina . NFR Aagot .
