    New chicken owner :O)

    Thank you for taking to time to reply, I thought the same, but the little girls are running all over the place eating, drinking and scratching, They have also popped into the coop and laid 3 eggs! I am not sure if I should put food in at night, They are eating fine. :O)

    Hello all, I have just collected 6 chickens They were in barns and never saw day light. Amy way I am wondering do I leave food in the coop when I tuck them up for bed at night, I will leave water for them but not sure if I need to leave food. Many thanks Toni
