If you're buying plastic feeders or drinkers, remember that during very cold weather, they will go quite hard, so scraping the ice out of them could cause them to break

If you use a bucket for their water and if that ices up, try floating a table tennis ball in it, that should bobble around a bit and give them at least some access for drinking.

During hot wather, drink is most important, so if you have more than around four chickens, make sure you purchase a large drinker or two smaller ones.Information on feeding, plus a Down the Lane Video, can be found in the Feeding Chicken page.
