My chickens love any type of fruit that I have given them. Apples and melons are favorites. They have also enjoyed fresh yellow squash I tried bell peppers but it was refused by all 14 members of my flock. They aren't too keen on cabbage but enjoy garden salad
How many put water and food inside their hen house? Due to the possibility of mice and other critters our hen house is free of food and water. My chickens have access to food and water in the coop. They have a small door way that they can access at any time. The coop is fully enclosed so they...

I also use the horizontal nipples with an attached cup. We installed these on a five gallon bucket with a float valve. Hubby ran an underground pvc waterline to the three sided shelter he built for the watering bucket. The bucket sits up on cinder blocks . The pullets love this. It provides...
