They can but not on a daily basis. From Juliene Faith Williams!!
Chickens may lay fewer eggs in wet weather due to the stress it can put on their bodies. Wet conditions can make chickens uncomfortable, leading to decreased egg production. Additionally, moisture can affect the quality of the eggs laid, making the chickens less inclined to lay as many.
Chickens peck at each other to establish who has dominance over the other. It is called the pecking order. Sick or injured birds offer changes to the established order and their place on the flock hierarchy. The aggression by the other chickens is showing they are moving up at the expense of the weaker bird.
No, we don't know if the raccoons were sick or had any diseases that can be hazardous. The chickens will not be safe around kids. They simply could transfer germs or bacteria from the raccoons to the kids.
Chickens are omnivores and can eat almost anything. It is a myth that they only eat grains and commercial feed. They love fish and other proteins. Never feed your birds spoiled meat as it can make them sick.
Chickens do not typically suffer from "wet tail" as this condition is more commonly associated with rodents, such as hamsters. However, chickens can experience health issues related to wet or dirty conditions, like foot pad dermatitis or respiratory infections. It's important to keep their environment clean and dry to prevent such problems.

No they get sick from eating orange pips and human people's hair.
Nothing. "Mad as a wet hen," however, means very angry, as chickens are supposed to hate getting wet.
It all comes out together unless the bird is frightened or sick.

No, silage is wet food and cows don't get sick from it. Grass with dew on it is also wet food and they don't get sick on that either. They will get bloated on alfalfa or clover that is eaten early in the morning though, especially if they are turned out when they are hungry.
Complete myth.
