Hi,

Just got our 4 new chickens today. Never had them before so its all new. Can anyone tell me should I put food and water in with the girls when I put them to bed and close up for the night?? Not sure what to do, I can find the answer in any of my books and I forgot to ask the lady we got them from.

Many thanks

hi and welcome to the wounderful world of chickens. we dont put food in the house it is in the garden pen so as soon as they come out it is there for them and they seem to like it this way , all those i know personally do the same. xx

Congratulations! we recently got some hens, they are great

we don't put their food or water in with them at night, from what i read they don't eat or drink when it's dark. We do bring it in to the house though just to stop any rats eating it

Thank you so much for your replys. I have now put them to bed without any food or water. Had our 1st egg this afternoon - wow it was so special, cant wait to open it up in the morning.
