Thank you, I understand now. It’s only a rodent deterrent, not a safety or chicks will turn to gremlins if fed at night thing. I would assume hanging water in the coop is ok? I can’t leave an animal with no water overnight, that just seems cruel & unusual.
I am also curious, I just got my chicks 2 weeks ago, so this is the first I’ve heard of no feed in the coop, have you got an answer yet as to why not? Maybe I am over feeding my chicks, should I take the feed out at night? Great thread, but now I am confused and have so many more questions. Lol
