Watering question

[azchickadee]

My chickens will be moving outside this weekend and I'm getting everything ready for them. Do they need to have water available to them inside the coop at night? I'd like to leave it outside the coop so there isn't a dampness problem. It's chilly here now, but it will be blazin' come summertime!

I don't have a waterer in my coop for the same reason. Mine do fine at night, just make sure they have plenty of clean water in the morning.

Yep, leave the water outside the coop. I find that anytime I go down to my chickens after sun set they are all roosting. With the cold weathe here I just make sure they have warm water to start with in the morning and mid-afternoon.

I leave mine outside the coop overnight.

I have a system that I can make water available for the chickens in their coops. I only use this when the snow is so bad they won't come out.
Actually they can't get out for the snow is above their entrance way. At times like this I am able to turn the water on from the pump house and it has a self filling float which will turn itself off and on.
