Kodesh Acres - This is my journal about sheep

[KodeshAcres]

Well... it poured today and all the sheep were just out there standing in the rain my brother and I went out there (around 3pm), he walked them to the end of the paddock where the 3 sided shed is. As soon as we started heading back towards the house they came running out of the shed and back to standing out in the rain, they have not gone back into the shed since. They were very happy to see me at 5 with grain in hand Thunderstorms and heavy rain are predicted to continue for another 2 days, is this normal sheep behavior?
Also, now their hay is on the ground and all wet. Thinking about some how anchoring a tarp down to go over the feeder, but still give them access to all sides. Day #2.

You can get some 1/2 pex pipe to bend into u’s and put tarp over. That will allow you to fill hay feeder with tarp installed. Google mini-greenhouse for examples.

My sheep will stay out in the field in soft rain, but run for cover in a hard rain.

Your shed is not “home” to them yet.

For a "quick fix".... get a wall hay feeder and put their hay in it in the shed. Attaches to the wall or sometimes a partial "round one" that goes in the corner up on the wall.... Or you can make something of your own... but it will hold a couple flakes of a sq bale. You don't have to use it all the time... but in the rain it might help entice them to go in there.
It isn't "home" to them like @Baymule said... and it is farther than they want to be from people and they are probably very people oriented coming from @Margali .
