water in coop?

Post by TDB »

Had my girls for a couple of days. They go to bed around 1630 every night and i let them out around 0700 in the morning. The first thing they do when out is drink.. They seem really thirsty. My question is.. Should I be putting water in the coop over night?

Hello TDB,
Greetings and welcome to The Lane.
They don't need food or water in the coop at night. They'd only knock it over and make a mess and they're just like teenagers, they never clean their own room :-D
