I have 2 chicks that fledged yesterday when it was dry. During the day it started to rain and today its poring. Is it likely that they'll perish, or would they go back to the nest?
Thanks.
They will not be able to get back in the nest as not able to fly for a few days, do you have any hedges for them to shelter under? They need to be accessible for parent to feed them!

Thank you for your response. Yes, plenty for them to shelter under. Hopefully they'll be okay.
that they make it, they're just so cute with that grumpy expression!
It's the little 'tufts' that get me, so sweet.
